===(Higher) Pressure and the Haber Process===
: Using the [[Balanced Symbol Equation|balanced symbol equation]] for this [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]:
: <chemmath> 3H2(g) + N2(g) <=> 2NH3(g) </chemmath>
: It can be seen that 4 [[Mole]]s of [[reactant]]s is needed to [[product|produce]] 2 [[Mole]]s of [[product]]s. This means a higher [[pressure]] will force the [[Equilibrium Position (Chemistry)|equilibrium position]] to favour the [[product]]s over the [[reactant]]s as they take up less [[Volume (Space)|volume]].
