Which consequence results when catalytic activity surpasses mass-transport limitations?

A)Observed rate constant plateaus
B)Reaction equilibrium shifts completely
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates rapidly
D)Activation energy threshold decreases

💡 Explanation

The observed rate constant plateaus because mass transport limitations restrict reactant supply to the catalyst active sites; therefore the observed rate levels off, indicating transport limits rather than increased reactivity, rather than equilibrium or deactivation effects.
