Which mechanism reduces the energy needed for hydrogenation?

💡 Explanation

Catalytic hydrogenation lowers the activation energy barrier via surface adsorption weakening the bonds between hydrogen atoms. Therefore the adsorbed molecules are more reactive, rather than pressure concentration or temperature, in promoting dissociation and reaction.
