← ScienceWhich consequence results when catalytic hydrogenation's hydrogen supply is exhausted?
A)Catalyst surface radical formation lessens
B)Reaction kinetics become zero order
C)Alkene polymerization becomes dominant
D)Product selectivity suffers significantly✓
💡 Explanation
Product selectivity decreases because **competitive adsorption** favors undesired pathways; therefore, the desired product yield decreases rather than a change of the kinetic order, because the catalyst surface becomes covered with reactants unevenly due to H-absence.
