Which outcome results when a catalyst adsorbs reactants?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst adsorption lowers activation energy because it stabilizes the transition state via surface interactions, therefore the reaction proceeds faster with a lower energy barrier, rather than altering equilibrium or reaction enthalpies.
