For the reaction below, describe the temperature and pressure conditions that would produce the highest yield for the forward reaction. Explain your answer in terms of Le Châtelier’s principle.

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) Two arrows stacked on top of each other. The top arrow points to the right. The bottom arrow points to the left. 2 NH3 (g) deltaH = -92 kJ/mol
