← ScienceWhich outcome reduces reactor throughput during exothermic production?
A)Decreased surface catalyst reaction sites
B)Increased reverse reaction rate✓
C)Lower reactant concentrations initially used
D)Higher activation energy in transition state
💡 Explanation
An increasing reverse reaction rate lowers throughput, because heat from the reaction pushes product equilibrium back towards reactants, opposing product formation via Le Chatelier’s principle; therefore, a higher throughput cannot be maintained rather than if equilibrium favored forward reaction progression.
