Science

Which phenomenon causes kinetic energy increase in a Haber-Bosch reactor after exceeding optimized pressure?

A)Viscosity-limited Diffusion
B)Surface Area Saturation
C)Increased Collision Frequency
D)Reduced Mean Free Path

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure causes increased collision frequency, therefore shifting equilibrium and increasing vibrational excitation of ammonia molecules, rather than viscosity increase; this leads to higher kinetic energy, because the reaction rate becomes limited by interaction probability, rather than diffusion.
