← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding the equilibrium constant in Haber-Bosch process maintaining constant temperature and volume?
A)Increased ammonia production until equilibrium restores✓
B)Depletion of catalyst surface by reactant adsorption
C)Reduced nitrogen fixation due to substrate saturation
D)Pressure surge potentially damaging reactor vessels
💡 Explanation
When exceeding the equilibrium constant, the reverse reaction favors reactant reformation because the product concentration is excessively high according to Le Chatelier's principle until re-establishment of equilibrium. Therefore ammonia production adjusts upwards to attain equilibrium, not catalyst depletion, affecting nitrogen fixation, or causing pressure surge, requiring shifts in reaction temperature/volume.
