Which outcome occurs when platinum catalyst surface hydrogen coverage drops during hydrogenation?

A)Reaction slows, increased alkane byproduct
B)Ester hydrolysis, forming alcohol, acid.
C)Catalyst poisoning forming platinum oxide
D)Increased amine conversion rate overall

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate will drop and byproduct formation will rise because the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism requires adsorbed hydrogen; therefore, alkane formation increases rather than amine conversion or ester hydrolysis given platinum limitations.
