← ScienceWhich consequence results when a biochemical fuel cell's catalyst deactivates?
A)Increased activation energy requirement✓
B)Elevation of equilibrium constant value
C)Enhanced electrochemical reaction rate
D)Diminished internal resistance occurs
💡 Explanation
Deactivation increases the activation energy requirement because the catalyst no longer provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower energy barrier; therefore more energy is needed for reactions, rather than a lower equilibrium barrier alone, under the original conditions.
