The temperature chosen is a compromise between yield and rate. Using a catalyst in the Haber process means that a lower temperature can be used whilst keeping the rate of reaction high.

However, the rate of reaction is low at low temperatures. So, as in the Haber process, a compromise temperature of 450 °C is chosen. If the pressure is increased, the equilibrium position moves ...

More than half of the protein within our body can be directly traced to a process invented more than 100 years ago by two ...
