Ammonia is a chemical containing one Nitrogen and 3 Hydrogen atoms and its chemical formula is NH3. Claude-Louis Berthollet was the one who found the chemical formula for ammonia after first being isolated by Joseph Priestley. Ammonia has many uses but possibly the most common use is in fertilizers without which millions of people may starve. The Haber-Bosch process started to be used during WW1 to create these fertilizers and is still used today. This process was created by Shimon Haber and Carl Bosch in 1909. Many people in the rubber industry are purchasing ammonia now to keep the rubber stabilized. Today ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemical compound because of its many uses. The steps for producing Ammonia: Ammonia has many uses that contribute to our world to day. One of these uses is to put in fertilizer to help foods without this during WW1 there would have been millions of death not only that but we still use it in fertilizer to this day.Not only this but it is also frequently put in water along with chlorine to disinfect it. Ammonia is known for its pungent smell which is possibly why it is used in many common house hold cleaning detergents. Ammonia also may be used in your refrigerator because of its thermodynamic properties. Although there are many good uses of ammonia there are also uses for ammonia that do not help but instead hurt us. For example in the 60s ammonia was being put into cigarettes. This is due to the fact that ammonia will increase the level of nicotine that is available to the smoker. Not only this but ammonia was also used in crack cocaine. As you can see the isolation of the chemical compound NH3 has helped and hurt us in many ways. As a whole I think that the world is better with this chemical because of the lives it saves through the fertilizer that we use.
 * First you must remove the sulfur from the feedstock due to the fact that sulfur will deactivate catalysts used in future steps. H2 + RSH → RH + H2S(//g//)
 * Next the Hydrogen must be removed by passing it through zinc oxide where it is converted to zinc sulfide. H2S + ZnO → ZnS + H2O
 * Next steam reforming is used to form hydrogen plus carbon monoxide. CH4 + H2O → CO + 3 H2
 * In the next step you must use the water gas shift reaction to create more hydrogen. CO + H2O → CO2 + H2
 * Next the carbon dioxide is removed by absorption.
 * Last use the Haber-Bosch process by reacting the hydrogen with nitrogen to get the desired liquid. 3 H2 + N2 → 2 NH3
