← ScienceWhich outcome slows ethyne (acetylene) hydrogenation at equilibrium?
A)Product accumulation prevents further mechanism✓
B)Increased catalyst surface area
C)Elevated reaction temperature favors product
D)Introducing inert gas into the reactor
💡 Explanation
Product accumulation reduces the reaction rate because the reverse reaction accelerates and equilibrium dictates a balance; therefore further ethyne conversion decreases rather than increased transformation because the equilibrium shifts
