Describe Harber's process for industrial preparation of ammonia gas.

For commercial purpose, ammonia gas is manufactured by Harber's process. In this process, a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen (1:3) is combined directly at 500ºc temperature and 200 to600 atm. For this reaction finely powdered iron is taken as a catalyst and molybdenum as a promoter.
