Which equilibrium shift occurs when product decomposition rates slow within a chemical reactor?

💡 Explanation

More product is made because the reverse reaction rate decreases. Because the decomposition constant is now proportionally decreased relative to formation the equilibrium is forced to make more, therefore the system is now less regulated and formation limited rather than regulated by kinetics.
