Where possible, laboratory experiments should be used to illustrate industrial equilibrium reactions because it makes the processes less abstract and easier to relate to and understand.

In the Haber process, nitrogen and hydrogen combine in the presence of a catalyst to form ammonia:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) _∏ 2NH₃(g)

This important reaction can be demonstrated in the laboratory using a microscale technique.
