Which consequence results when a nickel catalyst surface area decreases in the Haber-Bosch process?

💡 Explanation

A smaller catalyst area reduces reaction rate because fewer active sites are available for the dissociative chemisorption of nitrogen via the Arrhenius equation. Consequently, ammonia production slows, rather than a shift in equilibrium or activation energy adjustment, therefore, output diminishes.
