← ScienceWhich outcome reduces emissions when adding platinum catalysts to a Haber-Bosch reactor?
A)Shift equilibrium favoring ammonia production
B)Decrease the equilibrium constant
C)Reduces reverse reaction activation energy✓
D)Alters the Gibbs Free Energy
💡 Explanation
Platinum catalysts lower the activation energy for the reverse reaction, limiting hydrogen production because the **reaction catalysis** enables a favorable forward reaction by providing an alternative route with lower energy barriers and therefore less emissions, rather than affecting the Gibbs Free Energy or equilibrium constant.
