Which outcome occurs when a catalyst concentration decreases significantly in a balanced reaction?

💡 Explanation

Reduced catalyst availability lowers the number of successful collisions achieving the transition state (catalysis), because lower concentrations proportionally decrease effective reaction rates. Therefore, equilibrium is approached more slowly, rather than equilibrium is shifted or enthalpy changed which are energetic concerns.
