The Haber Process converts hydrogen and nitrogen into ammonia in the following exothermic reaction: 3H2+N2=2NH3. Explain the effect of increasing the pressure and why.

According to Le Chatlier's Principle, an increase in pressure favours the side with the least moles, which in this case is the forward reaction. Hence, increasing the pressure would result in an increase in the yield of ammonia.
