Though kinetics of ammonia synthesis dictates the use of low temperature for high equilibrium conversion, yet it is kept moderately high (550°C), because at low temperature________?
AVery high pressure is required resulting in costly pressure vessel
BSpace velocity of gas is very low resulting in decreased conversion
CRate of reaction is very low
DNone of these
Correct answer
C. Rate of reaction is very low
Explanation
The correct answer is Rate of reaction is very low.
