← ScienceWhich consequence results if an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor experiences decreased cooling efficiency?
A)Equilibrium shifts favoring reactants✓
B)Increase in catalyst surface poisoning
C)Nitrogen conversion rate instantly recovers
D)Ammonia production stabilizes without impact
💡 Explanation
Decreased cooling leads to higher reactor temperatures. Elevated temperature causes the equilibrium, in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle, to favor the endothermic reverse reaction, therefore reducing ammonia concentration, rather than optimizing nitrogen conversion because product formation is disfavored.
