Key Concepts
The Haber process involves combining nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to produce ammonia, which is used in fertilizer.
Without the Haber process, farmers would only be able to produce enough food for 4 billion people, leaving over 3 billion people without food.
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure on a system in equilibrium will cause the system to favor the side with fewer molecules.
