Ammonia is produced by the Haber process, in which nitrogen and hydrogen are reacted directly using an iron mesh impregnated with metal oxides as a catalyst. For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) equilibrium constants as a function of temperature are 300˚C, 4.34 x 10^-3 atm-2 500˚C, 1.45 x 10^-5 atm-2 600˚C, 2.25 x 10^-6 atm-2

a. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? b. Typical conditions used for producing ammonia are temperatures of 400 to 500˚C and total pressures of 200 to 600 atm. Why are these conditions chosen?
