← ScienceWhich outcome results when a solid catalyst poorly adsorbs reactants?
A)High apparent activation energy✓
B)Reduced equilibrium reaction constant
C)Increased catalyst surface poisoning
D)Lower overall reactor temperature
💡 Explanation
High apparent activation energy results because weak adsorption hinders the formation of the activated complex, increasing the required energy via Arrhenius equation due to poor surface coverage, therefore increasing activation energy; rather than affecting the equilibrium constant or causing catalyst poisoning directly.
