Which outcome limits ethylene oxide production rate during silver catalysis?

💡 Explanation

Surface carbon deposition hinders ethylene epoxidation using silver catalysts, hindering the rate. The slow removal through oxidation creates carbonaceous deposits that block active sites, therefore catalyst deactivation is the outcome, rather than over-oxidation because aldehyde formation is not directly part of catalyst poisoning.
