(c)
(from the graph) the best yield is obtained at high pressure;
and low temperature;
it is a reversible reaction;
in which formation of ammonia is favoured at low temperature
(because) the reaction is exothermic;
and the formation of ammonia is favoured at high pressure
because greater number of gaseous reactant molecules than
gaseous product molecules/because greater vol of reactant
than volume of product molecules;
pressure used is limited by cost/materials;
rate of reaction slow at low temperatures;
actual temperature and pressure used is a good compromise
(between a good yield and reasonable rate);
removal of ammonia makes rate more important than yield;

idea that it is
a reaction in which the products can themselves react to reform the
original substance or a reaction that can go in either direction
