To answer the question regarding why the Haber process for the industrial preparation of ammonia is not carried out at lower temperatures, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Reaction**: The Haber process involves the reaction of nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) to form ammonia (NH₃). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \] ...
