Which risk increases during rapid industrial ammonia production at elevated temperatures?

A)Excessive catalyst sintering and deactivation

B)Increased heat exchanger fouling rate

C)Reactant gas compressor seal failures

D)Ammonia decomposition shifting equilibrium✓

💡 Explanation

Ammonia decomposition risk increases because Le Chatelier's principle dictates a higher-temperature shift toward reactants; this is because the forward reaction is exothermic, therefore shifting the equilibrium point, rather than sintering which depends on catalyst properties.
