Q. In the Haber process for the manufacture of ammonia, the following catalyst is used

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

In Haber's process, ammonia is manufactured from $N _{2}$ and $H _{2}$ using iron as catalyst with molybdenum as promoter at high temperature and pressure
$N _{2}+3 H _{2} \xrightarrow[\text { Mo(catalytic promoter) }]{ Fe _{2} O _{3} \text { (catalyst) }} 2 NH _{3}$
