I have been asked this question in an international level competition.

My question is from Equilibrium in Chemical Processes topic in section Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Haber’s process

To explain: Haber’s process allows nitrogen from the air to combine with hydrogen in order to form ammonia, this process is reversible and exothermic. This process occurs at high temperatures and a catalyst is a form of iron.
