← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an endothermic catalytic chemical reaction occurs at very high temperature?
A)Increased catalyst surface area loss rate✓
B)Decreased equilibrium constant favorable products
C)Reduced activation energy energy barrier
D)Slower reaction rate because collisions lessen
💡 Explanation
When an endothermic catalytic reaction occurs at excessively high temperature, the increased thermal energy accelerates undesired catalyst sintering because the activation for surface atom mobility is exceeded. Therefore, increased catalytic surface area loss results, rather than equilibrium shifting unfavorably, barriers lowering, or collisions lessening since high temperatures favor product formation for endothermic reactions kinetically if catalyst maintain integrity.
