Which kinetic outcome occurs when cerium oxide catalyzes soot oxidation?

💡 Explanation

The catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway, therefore reducing the activation energy requirement for soot oxidation via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, rather than shifting equilibrium or impacting mass transport because the reactive pathway's energy barrier decreases.
