Which mechanism influences equilibrium within Haber-Bosch process catalytic converters at an ammonia plant if excess heat accumulates?

💡 Explanation

When excess heat accumulates, the equilibrium within the exothermic Haber-Bosch process shifts away from product ammonia according to Le Chatelier's principle, thus decreasing ammonia yield, even if the kinetics were initially favorable. Therefore decreased yield due to kinetics results, rather than boosted yield, catalyst poisoning, or selective adsorption, which depend on different physical mechanisms.
