← ScienceWhich consequence results when catalyst poisons reduce reactant concentration during heterogeneous catalysis?
A)Reaction rate constants are altered✓
B)Equilibrium constant remains unaffected
C)Activation energy decreases significantly
D)Catalyst surface area increases rapidly
💡 Explanation
The reaction rate constants change because catalyst poisoning inhibits adsorption, diminishing active site availability; the Arrhenius equation demonstrates that rate constants directly depend on active site area during surface catalytic reactions, therefore constants change rather than equilibrium which remains unaffected.
