Which outcome slows the reaction rate when insufficient catalyst is present?

💡 Explanation

The reaction slows down because catalyst insufficiency promotes the **reduced surface adsorption**, which raises the activation energy threshold; therefore less reactant convert to products rather than having high frequency collision efficiency.
