← ScienceWhich outcome occurs within a Haber-Bosch reactor if gaseous reactants' delivery falls below required stoichiometric proportions?
A)Lower ammonia production and reagent accumulation✓
B)Catalyst poisoning and decreased reaction rate
C)Pressure elevation exceeding safety margins
D)Equilibrium shift favoring nitrogen formation
💡 Explanation
Lower reactant input shifts equilibrium causing lower yields, because Le Chatelier's principle applies, reducing ammonia generation; therefore, unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen accumulate, rather than causing catalyst poisoning, pressures increases, or favoring nitrogen product due high pressure.
