Which outcome affects overall reaction rate when pressure increases in an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor vessel?

A)Lower activation energy requirement occurs
B)Increased effective reactant concentration
C)Decreased equilibrium constant is present
D)Catalyst surface area is amplified

💡 Explanation

Concentration increases because higher pressure forces more reactant molecules into a smaller volume, increasing collision frequency via collision theory; therefore, the reaction rate increases, rather than alterations to individual molecule activation energies or equilibrium shifts.
