← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a pressured Haber-Bosch reactor cools unexpectedly?
A)Ammonia production increases unexpectedly
B)Catalyst sintering rate increases rapidly
C)Equilibrium shifts decreasing ammonia yield✓
D)Hydrogen partial pressure inside escalates
💡 Explanation
A temperature decrease causes a shift in equilibrium using Le Chatelier's principle, because the exothermic forward reaction becomes less favored, therefore ammonia production decreases rather than increases due to the constrained equilibrium constant.
