← ScienceWhich outcome occurs with insufficient energy input in an ammonia synthesis reactor?
A)Reaction rate becomes kinetically limited✓
B)Catalyst surface area rapidly increases
C)Equilibrium favors product formation
D)Ammonia production reaches thermodynamic limits
💡 Explanation
When energy input is low, the reaction rate becomes kinetically limited due to meeting the activation energy barrier; this lowers the rate of collisions following the Arrhenius equation. Therefore, the reaction slows, rather than other effects on the catalyst or equilibrium at high energy supply.
