← ScienceWhich risk increases for a Haber process reactor operating far from equilibrium?
A)Kinetic limitations overwhelm overall equilibrium✓
B)Ammonia production reaches thermodynamic limits
C)Catalyst poisoning decreases conversion rates
D)System pressure falls below ideal range
💡 Explanation
Kinetic limitations dominate reaction rates because, according to Le Chatelier's principle, at low reactant concentrations the equilibrium shifts to favor reactants, making the forward reaction slower due to insufficient reactant collisions; therefore equilibrium is not reached and production diminishes, rather than other limits being hit under said conditions.
