Which outcome occurs when a catalyst malfunctions in Haber-Bosch?

💡 Explanation

A malfunctioning catalyst inhibits surface adsorption, decreasing the active sites for the reaction. This deactivation lowers the reaction rate dramatically by hindering surface *equilibrium*. Therefore, ammonia output plummets, rather than gas solubilities changing because the primary issue exists on the catalyst surfaces.
