Which outcome increases when reactants exceed catalyst's surface sites?

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate prematurely plateaus because adsorption, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm mechanism, becomes the limiting factor rather than further reactant increase. Therefore, rate stalls, rather than the equilibrium shifting, as that depends on thermodynamics and not just kinetics within constrained surface catalysis.
