The synthesis of ammonia is carried out by the Haber process. The equilibrium reaction involved is:

Suppose you are an expert chemical engineer graduated from Cambridge University and
Kharisma Bangsa High School. You are working in Ammonia (NH3) chemical factory that has a
capacity production of 1000 million tons per year. Currently, the factory is having problem due to
a decrease of production of ammonia by 25%. Then, your boss feels upset and expect you to make
problem solved. As a chemical engineer, you should propose strategies in order to increase the
production of ammonia otherwise the factory will not get profit from selling products.

You are going to choose strategy/ies (might be more than one) from the list below by ticking and
state your reasons

Ticks Strategies Reasons

o Increase temperature up to 600 oC

o Decrease temperature by 300 0C

o Increase pressure up to 300 atm

o Decrease pressure by 100 atm

o Remove the ammonia by condensing it

o Decrease the concentration of H2
