For the synthesis equilibrium N2(g)+3 H2(g)  ⇌  2 NH3(g)ΔH=−92 kJ\text{N}_2(g)+3\,\text{H}_2(g)\;\rightleftharpoons\;2\,\text{NH}_3(g)\qquad \Delta H=-92\,\text{kJ} consider the following single changes that could be made to a system initially at equilibrium: (i) decrease the temperature, (ii) increase the volume of the reaction vessel, (iii) continuously remove NH3\text{NH}_3 as it forms. Which one of these changes alone would produce the greatest increase in the equilibrium yield of NH3\text{NH}_3? Briefly justify your choice.
