Which risk during platinum catalyst use, lowers efficiency?

💡 Explanation

In catalyst poisoning, inhibition occurs because the inhibiting substance binds to the catalyst's active sites, blocking reactants. Therefore, desired reactions slow dramatically, rather than accelerate or shift. Over-oxidation is avoided as the catalyst remains unchanged.
