Which outcome arises when platinum catalyst surface area decreases in Haber-Bosch?

A)Equilibrium reached slowly at lower yield
B)Ammonia rapidly decomposes into reactants
C)Equilibrium shifts towards ammonia production
D)Catalyst degrades due to nitrogen poisoning

💡 Explanation

Equilibrium is achieved slowly at a lower yield because decreased catalyst surface decreases the number of active sites available for adsorption and reaction, and collision theory suggests reaction rate falls; therefore, equilibrium takes longer, rather than shifting or reversing the reaction completely.
