Which outcome occurs when a packed bed reactor nears equilibrium?

A)Reaction rate approaches zero.
B)Catalyst surface area increases.
C)Pressure drop dramatically increases.
D)Inlet temperature decreases rapidly.

💡 Explanation

As a packed bed reactor approaches equilibrium, the **net reaction rate approaches zero" because forward process equals the reverse process. Therefore, there is no change in concentrations because equilibrium is reached, rather than changes in either pressure drop or feed stream temperatures.
