Which outcome reduces methanol yield after catalyst poisoning?

💡 Explanation

Decreased methanol production occurs because the catalyst is poisoned with sulfur compounds blocking its active sites, thereby reducing the effective surface area available for the adsorption, the chemical transformation or 'surface reaction rates'. Therefore, reaction rate decreases rather than equilibrium conversion increasing because catalytic activity declined.
