In a Haber-Bosch reactor operating near equilibrium, which consequence arises when unreacted gases are recycled?

💡 Explanation

Recycling unreacted gases shifts the equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle promoting ammonia formation, because the concentration of reactants is maintained. Therefore, ammonia production increases rather than other options, which provide secondary process improvements under different failure modes.
