Action of Nitrogen with hydrogen

Answer 1

When Nitrogen gas is treated with hydrogen in the presence of Iron (Fe) catalyst at 773 K to form Ammonia.

$\underset{\mathrm{hydrogen}}{\underset{}{3{\mathrm{H}}_2}}+\underset{\mathrm{nitrogen}}{\underset{}{{\mathrm{N}}_2}}\to \underset{\mathrm{ammonia}}{\underset{}{2{\mathrm{NH}}_3}}$

Answer: Iron(Fe)
