Which outcome results when intermediate gas is withdrawn during synthesis?

A)Equilibrium constant value stays unchanged
B)Forward reaction rate slows down
C)Reverse reaction activation energy lowers
D)Catalyst effectiveness improves drastically

💡 Explanation

Withdrawing the intermediate gas reduces its partial pressure, shifting the equilibrium to favor reactants because the reaction attempts to replenish the withdrawn gas via Le Chatelier's principle; therefore the forward rate slows down, rather than options where equilibrium values or activation barriers change.
