Which consequence results when a platinum catalyst degrades?

💡 Explanation

With the loss of catalyst surface area, increased activation energy is required because catalytic activity decreased. Therefore, overall reaction rate slows, rather than driving temperature increases or shifting equilibrium; equilibrium is about thermodynamics, not kinetics.
