Which equilibrium shift arises when rhodium catalysts degrade?

💡 Explanation

A deactivated catalyst surface reduces the effective reaction sites; therefore, the hydrogenation reaction conversion rate decreases instead of increasing, because the surface area lowers due to catalyst poisoning rather than reactant concentration changes.
