Which outcome reduces emissions when adding platinum catalysts to a Haber-Bosch reactor?

A)Shift equilibrium favoring ammonia production
B)Decrease the equilibrium constant
C)Reduces reverse reaction activation energy
D)Alters the Gibbs Free Energy

💡 Explanation

Platinum catalysts lower the activation energy for the reverse reaction, limiting hydrogen production because the **reaction catalysis** enables a favorable forward reaction by providing an alternative route with lower energy barriers and therefore less emissions, rather than affecting the Gibbs Free Energy or equilibrium constant.
