The Haber process

Question

The Haber process

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Haber process is a chemical process for the production of ammonia, which involves the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen under high pressure and temperature in the presence of a catalyst. This process is widely used in the manufacture of fertilizers and other nitrogen-containing compounds. Option A is incorrect because the process for recovering sulfur from underground deposits is called the Frasch process. Option B is incorrect because the Haber process does not transform nitrogen to other nitrogen-containing compounds, but rather combines nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia. Option D is also incorrect because nitric acid is produced by a separate process called the Ostwald process.
