Andrew Dean · Answer 1

The ammonia molecules have weaker inter molecular bonds then the hydrogen and nitrogen, this means that the ammonia condensed at a lower temperature so will be a liquid that will be separated from the reaction, while the nitrogen and hydrogen remain as gases so are easy are recycle back into the reacting chamber.

Emerson English · Answer 2

A jug of ammonia (Not hard to keep liquid at room temperature with modest pressure.) has more hydrogen in it than a jug of pure liquid hydrogen! * (which is very hard to keep liquid even with huge pressures and very cold temperatures)
