Which outcome reduces yield if intermediate conversion decreases within a packed bed reactor?

A)Catalyst poisoning will accelerate rapidly
B)Kinetic isotope effects become amplified
C)Reverse reaction inhibition increases sharply
D)Selectivity to side-products rises drastically

💡 Explanation

Lower intermediate conversion negatively influences yield because increased surface residence drives further unwanted reactions. Undesired side-product formation accelerates based on Sabatier's principle; therefore, the selectivity drops rather than speeding catalyst deactivation because temperature remains ideal.
