Which outcome reduces methanol yield in a synthesis reactor?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperature shifts the methanol synthesis equilibrium backward due to Le Chatelier's principle. This reduces methanol yield because the exothermic reaction is less favored, therefore methanol production diminishes rather than increases as temperatures rise beyond optimal values.
