Problem
Industrial synthesis of ammonia is carried out at 200 atm and 500 °C to obtain an adequate reaction rate. Propose one adjustment to these operating conditions that would reduce deviation from ideal behavior without substantially slowing the reaction, and justify your choice with reference to both intermolecular attractions and molecular volume.
