AThe 1908 Nobel Prize in Physiology
BThe 1912 Nobel Prize in Physics work
CThe 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
DThe 1922 Nobel Prize in Literature
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
1. Haber worked out a practical route from atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen to ammonia.
2. The route runs over a catalyst at high temperature and high pressure.
3. For that synthesis he was awarded the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
4. The other years and disciplines listed do not match that award.
