← ScienceWhich risk increases when a Haber-Bosch reactor exceeds its pressure rating?
A)Reduced catalyst surface area
B)Equilibrium shifting to reactants
C)Compromised pressure vessel integrity✓
D)Decreased reaction rate constant
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the pressure rating strains the material exceeding safe limits; therefore, reactor walls will begin to deform and fracture, leading to a rupture because of exceeding the material's yield strength and creep, rather than simply shifting the equilibrium or affecting kinetics.
