HELLO THERE!

I HOPE MY ANSWER WILL HELP YOU :)

- - - - -

The Haber Process

-The effect of increasing temperature is taken into consideration.

-When the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves in the endothermic direction to reduce the temperature.

- This means that as the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves to the left, and the yield of ammonia decreases.

Answer:

If the temperature is increased, the equilibrium position moves in the direction of the endothermic reaction. This means it moves to the left in the Haber process. You might think that a low temperature is chosen, moving the equilibrium position to the right and making more ammonia.
