← ScienceWhich risk increases when a Haber-Bosch reactor maintaining a high hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio experiences a temperature fluctuation?
A)Increased catalyst surface area loss
B)Favored decomposition of ammonia gas✓
C)Decreased overall ammonia production
D)Enhancement of nitrogen dissociation energy
💡 Explanation
A temperature increase favors reactant formation via Le Chatelier's principle because the reaction is exothermic. Therefore, ammonia decomposition increases rather than production enhancement. Equilibrium shifts towards nitrogen and hydrogen due to heat addition.
