Ammonia is produced industrially by the Haber process using nitrogen and hydrogen.

The balanced equation for this reaction is: N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3\text{(g)}N2​(g)+3H2​(g)⇌2NH3​(g)

The graph below shows the percentage yield of ammonia at a constant pressure of 200 atm200\text{ atm}200 atm across a range of temperatures:

c.

Describe the relationship between temperature and the percentage yield of ammonia shown in the graph.
