Which consequence results when a catalyst degrades surface reaction rate constants?

💡 Explanation

When catalyst surface sites deactivate, lowering available surface area, the rate constant decreases, therefore, the overall catalytic reaction slows because the mass action rate is directly proportional to catalytic effectiveness, rather than altering equilibrium concentrations.
