The name of the process by which ammonia is produced on an industrial scale is called

  1. Ammoniation
  2. Nitrification
  3. Nitrogenation
  4. Haber process ✓

Explanation

The Haber process makes ammonia industrially. It combines nitrogen and hydrogen gases. High pressure and temperature with iron catalyst help the reaction.

Ammoniation adds ammonia to compounds. Nitrification converts ammonia to nitrates in soil. Nitrogenation isn’t a real industrial process.

Remember: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃. This feeds millions of people through fertilizer.
