Solution
The correct option is D high pressure and low temperature In the equilibrium N2+3H2⇌2NH3+92.2 kJ, the maximum yield of NH3 will be obtained with the process having high pressure and low temperature. The forward reaction takes place with decrease in number of moles (4 to 2). With increase in pressure, forward reaction is favoured and yield of ammonia increases. The forward reaction is exothermic (heat is evolved during reaction) and is favoured by decrease in temperature.
