Question

The Haber's process for the manufacture of ammonia is usually carried out at about 500°C. If a temperature of about 250°C was used instead of 500°C,

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

Although lower temperatures thermodynamically favour the formation of ammonia (exothermic process), at 250°C the activation energy barrier is too high, making the reaction kinetically unfeasible. Thus, the rate of reaction is negligibly slow. Therefore, correct answer is A.
