Which outcome occurs when a platinum catalyst reaches effective saturation coverage in a catalytic converter?

💡 Explanation

The reaction proceeds independent from reactant concentration, because 'surface saturation' now limits available catalyst, therefore rate becomes zero order rather than first or second and activation energy is unchanged.
