Which risk increases when an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor experiences reduced surface area availability?

A)Reduced percentage production of target
B)Increased rate pressure vessel wall corrosion
C)Lower utility catalyst energy efficiency
D)Greater reverse pathway production inhibition

💡 Explanation

Reduced surface area decreases catalyst active sites; thus the Haber process experiences increased demand rate because the reaction rate slows down. Therefore, ammonia production rate decreases rather than corrosion, energy use, or reverse reaction processes applying, in this kinetic scenario.
