← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the Haber-Bosch process uses excessively high pressures?
A)Increased equilibrium reaction rate constant
B)Significant risk of equipment failure✓
C)Reduced catalyst surface area activity
D)Enhanced nitrogen-hydrogen bond polarization
💡 Explanation
Excessively high pressure during the Haber-Bosch process increases the risk of equipment failure because the increased stress surpasses the material's yield strength, therefore causing deformation or fracture of the reactor vessel, rather than primarily impacting the catalyst activity or bond polarization.
