Answer:

high pressure of 200-300 atm.

low temp. of between 400-500 degrees celsius:this is for continuous development of ammonia since it decomposes at high temp fathermore the reaction is exothermic

a catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction:i guess it is finely divided iron impregnated in aluminium oxide

platinum can be used as a catalyst but it is easily poisoned

hope it helps
