← ScienceWhich risk increases when insufficient catalyst loading affects reaction?
A)Increased concentrations of unwanted side products✓
B)Elevated production of target intermediate species
C)Decreased sensitivity to temperature changes
D)Enhanced reaction equilibrium at lower pressure
💡 Explanation
Insufficient catalyst retards surface adsorption, reducing reaction rate. Increased activation energy occurs because unfavorable reaction pathways dominate, therefore unwanted side products form in larger amounts rather than expected products during catalyzed sequences.
