Which outcome reduces batch reactor conversion rate at equilibrium?

A)Decreased reactant initial concentration ratio
B)Increased gas phase pressure
C)Enhanced temperature for exothermic reaction
D)Added inert nitrogen at equal concentration

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature increases the reverse reaction rate via the Arrhenius equation’s exponential temperature dependence; Le Chatelier's principle dictates that equilibrium shifts against increased temperatures in exothermic reaction because systems tend to minimize their energy. Therefore, the ratio of products to reactants decreases, rather than maximizing conversion.
