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
rate of reaction is very low.
very high pressure is required resulting in costly pressure vessel.
space velocity of gas is very low resulting in decreased conversion.
none of these

Iron is not used alone as a catalyst in ammonia synthesis, because
its activity declines rapidly, if heated to above 520°C.
it decomposes ammonia.
it gets oxidised above 500°C.
none of these.
