Which consequence results when excessive heat energy causes catalyst poisoning?

💡 Explanation

High temperatures cause catalyst poisoning via sintering--decreasing surface area and active sites--because the activation energy for sintering is exceeded; therefore the reaction rate decreases, rather than altering selectivity or improving catalyst properties.
