Which consequence results when a catalyst contaminates a chemical reactor's batch?

A)Undesired reaction pathways become dominant
B)Equilibrium favors high-energy reactants
C)Temperature setpoints become self-regulating
D)Conversion rates immediately reach completion

💡 Explanation

Undesired products form because catalytic poisoning changes the activation energy landscape, leading to alternative, unintended, reaction rate accelerations via induced reaction pathways, therefore different (wrong) products result, rather than the desired outcome, stemming from specific catalyst action.
