← ScienceWhich consequence results when excess product accumulates inhibiting the rate of the Haber-Bosch process?
A)Catalyst deactivation risk rises rapidly
B)Equilibrium shifts toward reactants✓
C)Increase in activation energy barrier
D)System temperature climbs without bound
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium shifts towards reactants because Le Chatelier's principle dictates the system will adjust based on stress; an accumulation of products. This causes a reduction in the forward reaction rate, rather than catalyst poisoning or increased activation energy.
