← ScienceWhich outcome relating to the speed of formation ensues following catalyst poisoning?
A)Decreased reaction rate's process inefficiency✓
B)Equilibrium favours product due Le Chatelier
C)Increased activation energy for molecules.
D)More molecules exceed threshold energy
💡 Explanation
Catalyst poisoning decreases the adsorbed reactant concentration, inhibiting reaction rate because fewer active sites are available; therefore, process inefficiency rises due limited turnover, rather than altering equilibrium or direct kinetics.
