← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when platinum surfaces catalyze hydrogen dissociation?
A)Increased atomic hydrogen recombination rate✓
B)Reduced molecular hydrogen adsorption
C)Greater catalyst sintering occurs slowly
D)Lower surface oxidation reaction rate
💡 Explanation
Increased atomic hydrogen surface coverage accelerates hydrogen recombination through the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, because chemisorbed atoms readily combine. Therefore, recombination rates increase, rather than being limited by molecular adsorption or catalyst properties.
