← ScienceWhich constraint worsens methanol production rate in catalytic converters?
A)Catalyst active site poisoning✓
B)Increased convective heat transfer
C)Elevated reactor system pressure
D)Decreased carbon dioxide concentration
💡 Explanation
Catalyst poisoning reduces methanol's yield rates because active sites become blocked via adsorption, inhibiting the necessary surface catalyzed reactions; therefore methanol production decreases, rather than increasing because other processes are enhanced in idealized conditions.
