← ScienceWhich risk increases when increasing the reagent concentration beyond optimal stoichiometry during industrial ammonia synthesis?
A)Equilibrium shifts impede product formation
B)Reaction rate becomes diffusion-limited✓
C)Catalyst surface poisoning accelerates sharply
D)Higher order reactions become competitive
💡 Explanation
If concentration exceeds reaction sites, then the reaction rate becomes diffusion-limited, because increased collisions do not improve conversion due to restricted surface availability. Therefore, mass transport limits affect performance, rather than alternatives regarding surface poisoning without specific adsorbates.
