← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thermal runaway affects equilibrium within an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor?
A)Catalyst active site poisoning occurs✓
B)Le Chatelier's principle upsets
C)Kinetic energy lowers drastically
D)Conversion rate remains controlled steady
💡 Explanation
Catalyst active site poisoning increases because thermal runaway elevates reactor temperature, exceeding catalyst stability limits, and causing irreversible structural changes via sintering rather than the steady conversion. Therefore poisoning occurs, rather than Le Chatelier adjustments.
