← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a nickel catalyst deactivates during ethene hydrogenation?
A)Increased activation energy requirement✓
B)Exothermic reaction heat intensifies
C)Faster attainment reaction equilibrium
D)Hydrogen adsorption energy decreases
💡 Explanation
Deactivation increases the activation energy requirements because catalyst poisoning hinders reactant adsorption via active site coverage. Therefore, a higher energy input is needed, rather than altered equilibrium or reaction heat effects that would arise from different mechanisms.
