← ScienceWhich risk elevates when a catalyst degrades in equilibrium?
A)Reactant to product ratio deviates✓
B)Equilibrium constant K stabilizes easily
C)Reaction enthalpy change reduces quickly
D)Forward reaction rate constantly increases
💡 Explanation
If the catalyst degrades, the lower the activation energy available results in reduced catalytic function, upsetting the relative forward and reverse reaction rates, because system adjusts to counteract, therefore the ratio will deviate rather than remain constant or rapidly changing enthalpy.
