Which consequence results when a catalyst bed suffers poisoning?

💡 Explanation

Poisoning reduces active sites, thus lowering the number of successful reactant collisions through decreased **catalytic activity**; therefore, the reaction rate decreases, rather than remaining constant, because the effectiveness significantly degrades with fewer active sites.
