← ScienceWhich outcome decreases reactor yield through equilibrium suppression?
A)Product selectively adsorbs on catalyst✓
B)Inert noble gas contamination occurs
C)Mixing introduces thermal stratification
D)Reverse reaction activation energy decreases
💡 Explanation
Selective adsorption increases product concentration near active sites favoring the reverse reaction based on Le Chatelier's principle, therefore equilibrium shifts toward reactants rather than increasing the yield which would occur with increased forward reaction rates.
