← ScienceWhich outcome results when an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor reaches equilibrium?
A)Rate limiting catalyst surface poisoning increases
B)Forward and reverse reaction rates equalize✓
C)Nitrogen becomes fully reacted to ammonia
D)Enthalpy achieves local minimum with reactants
💡 Explanation
Reaction equilibrium means the forward and reverse rates are equal because the change in reactant and product concentrations balance via Le Chatelier's principle; therefore equilibrium is achieved, rather than complete conversion or enthalpy minimization which are kinetic possibilities without constraint.
