Which outcome occurs when a platinum catalyst deactivates in a chemical reactor maintaining quasi-equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

Reduced product formation and increased starting materials occurs because catalyst deactivation diminishes active catalytic sites, slowing reaction rates, disturbing effective equilibrium, therefore shifting product yield versus reactant consumption, rather than causing decomposition because parameters are quasi-static to equilibrium.
