Which rate law outcome occurs as catalyst degrades?

💡 Explanation

As a catalyst degrades, there's a loss of active sites, therefore the reaction rate constant decreases through Collision Theory, because fewer effective collisions can occur, rather than an equilibrium shift or changes only in activation energy.
