← ScienceWhich outcome affects methanol production when reactor pressure rises too high?
A)Forward reaction rate decelerates
B)Equilibrium shifts favor reactants
C)Reverse reaction rate increases✓
D)Catalyst surface area decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased reactor pressure favors the side with fewer gas molecules, thus increasing the reverse reaction due to Le Chatelier's principle, and resulting in more reactants. Therefore, the reverse reaction rate increases, rather than the equilibrium shifting unfavorably or catalyst deactivation.
