Which consequence results when a catalyst degrades during triacylglycerol production?

A)Increased saponification reaction effectiveness
B)Elevation of the dielectric constant
C)Shift in reaction equilibrium constant
D)Decline of the reaction rate constant

💡 Explanation

The rate of the reaction declines, resulting in reduced triacylglycerol because catalyst degradation diminishes the **catalytic cycle**. Therefore lowering the pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation and thereby lowering the overall rate constant, rather than equilibrium since that is driven by thermodynamics and the dielectric effects on molecular interactions.
