In any engineering design problem, the first step is to understand the problem and identify one or more possible solutions. In this task, you'll analyze the problems you face as the chemical engineer challenged with setting up the ammonia-making process. Recall the chemical equation for producing ammonia: N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + energy

Asubstance is held in an open container. its particles move past one another at random speeds but do not leave the container. heat is removed from the system, and the particles slow down. when enough heat is removed, the particles no longer have enough speed to overcome the weak attractive forces between them. when this happens, the substance enters its solid state. the process described above is known as .
