← ScienceWhich risk increases when pressure weakens the container holding hydrogen?
A)Increased hydrogen embrittlement of the metal✓
B)Decreased rate of hydrogen oxidation
C)Reduced para-hydrogen conversion rate
D)Lower activation of hydrogenolysis catalysts
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen embrittlement occurs when absorbed hydrogen reduces metal ductility, therefore weakening the binding forces between molecules, rather than slowing reaction kinetics or catalytic activity involving dihydrogen, because only embrittlement affects the metal's physical structure.
