Which outcome occurs when a platinum catalyst's surface area dramatically decreases during an exothermic chemical reaction?

💡 Explanation

Lower reaction energy yield occurs because the decreased surface area reduces catalytic sites, thus diminishing the effective collisions and *reaction rate*, as it constrains turnover. Therefore, less product is formed, impacting yield, rather than alternative changes in system oscillations or entropy
