← ScienceWhich effect occurs when catalytic activity is decreased by poisoning?
A)Activation energy barrier appears higher✓
B)Equilibrium constant shifts unfavorably
C)Reaction enthalpy becomes more exothermic
D)Rate constants become temperature independent
💡 Explanation
The catalyst decreases in efficacy because it is raising `activation energy`. Therefore, the reaction proceeds more slowly making the activation barrier effectively higher, rather than because different products now achieve favored states.
