Reversible reactions and equilibrium — practice question

Ammonia is produced by reacting nitrogen with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure. nitrogen + hydrogen $\rightleftharpoons$ ammonia (catalyst)
(a(i))[1]

What does the symbol $\rightleftharpoons$ mean?

(a(ii))[1]

What is the function of the catalyst?

(b(i))[1]

Describe how the percentage yield of ammonia varies with temperature.

(b(ii))[1]

Deduce the percentage yield of ammonia at $400\,^{\circ}\text{C}$.

(c)[1]
