Which consequence arises when a catalyst malfunctions in ammonia synthesis?

💡 Explanation

A malfunctioning catalyst lowers product formation, decreasing rate via reduced *surface adsorption*, because fewer reactants are activated. Therefore the reaction slows; rather than achieving equilibrium efficiently, reactant kinetic energy is unchanged.
