Invetion of haber process has negative or positive impact on the development of the economy
The Haber process, also called the Haber?Bosch process, is the nitrogen fixation reaction of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, over an enriched iron or ruthenium catalyst, [ [ which is used to industrially produce ammonia.
Despite the fact that 78.1% of the air we breathe is nitrogen, the gas is relatively unavailable because it is so unreactive: nitrogen molecules are held together by strong triple bonds. It was not until the early 20th century that Fritz Haber developed the first practical process to convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. Prior to the discovery of the Haber process,
ammonia had been difficult to produce on an industrial scale.
The Haber process is important today because the fertilizer generated from ammonia is responsible for sustaining one-third of the Earth's population ] ]
