Which outcome decreases reaction completion rate in exothermic catalytic converters?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst poisoning decreases the rate because active catalytic sites are blocked via chemisorption preventing reactants from binding, therefore slowing down or halting the entire reaction, rather than a lower exhaust temperature, which merely reduces the rate temporarily.
