← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during the Haber-Bosch process if the equilibrium constant (K) suddenly decreases?
A)Reduced ammonia production rate✓
B)Increased catalyst surface poisoning
C)Elevated reactor pressure increase
D)Enhanced nitrogen conversion to ammonia
💡 Explanation
When K decreases in the Haber-Bosch process, the equilibrium shifts to favor the reactants because a lower K means the reaction produces less product relative to reactants at equilibrium, ultimately reducing ammonia production. Therefore reduced rate is the consequence, rather than other effects that are caused by poisoning or pressure changes.
