← ScienceWhich 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.
