Two key properties of Haber process

Reversible and exothermic

Effect of high temp on exothermic reaction yield & rate

Increases rate but decreases yield

Effect of catalyst on equilibrium yield

No effect

Why high pressure increases ammonia yield

Shifts to side with fewer gas particles (products)

Nitrogenase enzyme operating conditions

Ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure
