उत्तर
(i) The reactants nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia at low temperature, high pressure in presence of catalyst to for maximum yield of ammonia . The balanced equation for the reaction is:
\[\ce{N2 + 3H2 <=> 2NH3 +heat}\]
(ii ) Iron acts as catalyst.
(iii ) Since the forward reaction occurs with decrease in volume, according to Le Chatelier's principle, high pressure favours the formation of ammonia.
Key: Haber's process
