Which outcome arises when palladium catalyzes ethene hydrogenation?

💡 Explanation

Catalysis occurs when the palladium catalyst lowers the reaction's activation energy via surface adsorption of reactants; because of this lowered barrier, the reaction's rate increases. Therefore hydrogenation accelerates, rather than diminishes, without favoring smaller alkanes.
