← ScienceWhich phenomenon results when Arrhenius equation activation nergy term significantly increases in catalytic reactor?
A)Kinetic Isotope Effect amplification
B)Catalyst active site poisoning
C)Equilibrium constant enhancement
D)Diffusion limited reaction rate✓
💡 Explanation
When activation energy term greatly rises in the Arrhenius equation, the temperature needed for the reaction to achieve a reasonable rate exponentially increases, but the limited diffusion within the reactor can't supply reactants quickly enough. The reaction consequently becomes diffusion limited, rather than rate limited by catalyst activity if poisoning, isotope nor equilibrium constants predominated.
