Which outcome results when a propane torch heats a platinum catalyst?

A)Increased reaction rate, alkane conversion
B)Catalyst surface area decreases rapidly
C)Inhibition occurs, reactions cease
D)Energetic preference shifts towards reactants

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature from the torch drives the *adsorption* phase; because the catalyst lowers the reaction’s activation energy, increased collisions lead to more effective alkane conversion and higher reaction rate, rather than decreased catalyst area or inhibition effects.
