← ScienceWhich consequence results when ammonia synthesis catalysts degrade?
A)Equilibrium shifts reactants, reducing yield✓
B)Increased catalyst surface area occurs
C)Equilibrium favors product quickly
D)System reaches steady-state operation
💡 Explanation
Decreased catalyst activity lowers rate toward equilibrium. Because Le Chatelier's principle favors increased reactant concentration, the equilibrium shifts unfavorably, reducing product yield; therefore the reduced efficiency rather than faster steady state reaction occurs.
