In ammonia synthesis (N₂ + 3H₂ = 2NH₃), there is a decrease in total volume, hence to get high equilibrium conversion, the reaction should be carried out at Very high temperature Atmospheric pressure; as the pressure has no effect on conversion Low pressure High pressure TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Lower temperature and large excess of ammonia in urea melt Does not effect biuret formation Decreases biuret formation Is undersirable Increases biuret formation TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
