← ScienceWhich outcome primarily results when a heterogeneous catalyst deactivates?
A)Reduced reaction rate conversion✓
B)Increased equilibrium constant value
C)Decreased activation energy barrier
D)Enhanced catalyst surface area
💡 Explanation
Deactivation poisons catalyst active sites, therefore reducing reaction throughput because access is now limited by this blocking mechanism, rather than changes to equilibrium or surface area that usually enhance rate.
