Its product can be used in the Solvay process, but in its original use, that product was oxidized and then put through the Ostwald process to reduce dependence on Chilean imports.
An osmium-uranium catalyst was the first used, but the scientist who perfected this found that Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 were cheaper and good catalysts. Its product can be used in the Solvay process, but in its original use, that product was oxidized and then put through the Ostwald process to reduce dependence on Chilean imports. It is reversible and very exothermic, and Le Chatlier's Law demands that extremely high pressure be used to drive the forward reaction. For 10 points, name the process of taking nitrogen and hydrogen gas and synthesizing ammonia.
