← ScienceWhich outcome reduces product yield in a Haber-Bosch reactor nearing equilibrium?
A)Increased catalyst surface oxidation
B)Nitrogen back-pressure increase
C)Ammonia undergoes thermal decomposition✓
D)Hydrogen-induced metal catalyst poisoning
💡 Explanation
Thermal decomposition of ammonia diminishes the system's product yield because Le Chatelier's principle dictates a shift towards reactants at high temperatures, counteracting ammonia's formation, therefore, reduced yields occur via decomposition rather than catalyst poisoning, which would impact reaction *rate*.
