Which outcome occurs when catalyst poisons saturate microreactor surfaces?

💡 Explanation

When catalyst poisons accumulate on microreactor surfaces, active sites are blocked; the reaction rate decreases due to inhibited adsorption. This limits product formation as equilibrium shifts via Le Chatelier's principle because the equilibrium favors reactants rather than products.
