Nitrogen is an essential source of nutrition for growing plants. Ammonia has the highest nitrogen content of any commercial fertilizer. The Haber-Bosch process, is the main industrial reaction to produce synthetic ammonia today. The process converts atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia by a reaction with hydrogen using a metal catalyst under high temperature and pressures: N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2NH3 (g)
