← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when temperature significantly decreases within an exothermic fluidized catalytic cracking reactor?
A)Decreased catalyst activity reduces reaction rate✓
B)Equilibrium shifts favoring product formation rate
C)Increased density alters fluidization dynamics rate
D)Reaction selectivity enhances undesired byproduct
💡 Explanation
Decreased temperature lowers the kinetic energy of reactant molecules which decreases catalytic activity which causes overall reaction rate to decrease. Catalytic activity depends sensitivity to temperature; therefore reaction rate is reduced, rather than equilibrium shifts, a faster reaction, or increased byproduct.
