← ScienceWhich mechanism limits hydrogen production rate at equilibrium in Haber-Bosch process under fixed conditions?
A)Reverse reaction forming reactants✓
B)Nitrogen diffusion through catalyst
C)Ammonia condensation in reactor
D)Hydrogen adsorption on catalyst
💡 Explanation
At equilibrium, hydrogen production is limited by the reverse reaction because the rate of ammonia decomposition becomes equal to the rate of ammonia formation, resulting in no net change in concentration. Therefore the reverse reaction limits production, rather than diffusion, condensation, or adsorption, all being kinetic factors preceding equilibrium.
