Science

Which consequence decreases catalyst efficiency due to rapid thermal fluctuations?

A)Increased reactant desorption rate constant
B)Decreased product adsorption affinity
C)Lowered activation energy threshold
D)Enhanced surface intermediate stabilization

💡 Explanation

An increased desorption rate reduces catalyst availability because the **Arrhenius equation** shows thermal fluctuations dramatically affect the rate constant, therefore products leave rapidly, rather than allowing further surface reactions improving yield .
