← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pressure reduces in Haber-Bosch?
A)Equilibrium shifts left, ammonia decreases✓
B)Catalyst deactivation rate diminishes
C)Nitrogen and hydrogen conversion increases
D)Reaction exothermicity is significantly enhanced
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium shifts left because Le Chatelier's principle dictates that the system will counteract the pressure decrease through **equilibrium constant shift**; therefore less ammonia is produced, rather than greater ammonia synthesis which a pressure increase causes.
