Are there any specific examples where pressure is a critical factor?
One notable example is the synthesis of ammonia via the Haber process. This reaction involves the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen gases to form ammonia, and it is highly dependent on both temperature and pressure. High pressure (150-200 atm) is essential for achieving a favorable equilibrium position and high reaction rates. Another example is the methanol synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, where pressure plays a vital role in determining the efficiency and yield of the process.
