← ScienceWhich outcome limits catalytic reactor throughput when pressure increases?
A)Reduced reactant surface area absorption
B)Increased mass transport rate
C)Equilibrium constant shifts unfavorably✓
D)Higher activation energy requirements apparent
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure can shift the equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium constant changing favors reactants; therefore, lower product formation is observed rather than increased yield because kinetic effects also change at the same time influencing conditions less noticeably.
