The haber process is the reaction of nitrogen as a gas with three moles of h2 as a gas to produce two moles of nh3 as a gas.

And i suspect when they say that it's under compromised conditions or more appropriately i guess compromised conditions what's the meaning of the term compromised well this process is exothermic so that means heat is going to be released if heat is released then to produce the maximum amount of ammonia we want to decrease the amount of heat so increased ammonia concentration comes at low temperatures we could also increase the amount of ammonia if we were in a smaller container so so if we go to small volumes, well, let's say this again, increased ammonia.

If we are small volumes, as we decrease the volume, it always shifts to the side with fewer moles of gas.

There's two moles of gas here and four moles of gas here.

So these aren't in conflict with each other.

However, this is just taking into account thermodynamics or equilibrium conditions.

If we look at kinetic conditions, the kinetics suggest that we'll get more ammonia more quickly at high temperatures...
