← ScienceWhich consequence results when a sudden temperature spike occurs during the Haber-Bosch process?
A)Catalyst poisoning limits ammonia production
B)Equilibrium shifts toward lower ammonia✓
C)Kinetic rate constant lowers extremely
D)Nitrogen triple bond is unperturbed
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature causes the equilibrium shift towards reactants, therefore ammonia yield decreases because ΔH is negative in the exothermic reaction in line with Le Chatelier’s principle for changes to equilibrium, rather than catalyst deactivation impacting ammonia production directly.
