Which risk increases when compressing reactants to favor product in an industrial Haber-Bosch process?

A)Catalyst surface area poisoning
B)Reverse reaction rate increase
C)Ammonia decomposition exotherm
D)Explosive gas mixture formation

💡 Explanation

An increased compression ratio can push the reaction toward ammonia production; however, if oxygen is present explosive limits may be exceeded. This happens because mixing oxygen-hydrogen can initiating rapid chain branching, therefore safety margins can diminish rather than staying constant.
