Which mechanism hinders methanol production when excessive carbon monoxide concentration exists?

💡 Explanation

Overloading CO causes competitive adsorption, decreasing the effective surface area of the catalyst for methanol formation on active sites because CO outcompetes H₂ for adsorption; therefore, methanol production decreases, rather than effects from isotope effects or thermal conditions.
