Which risk increases when methane cracking catalysts experience sulfur poisoning?

A)Reduced catalyst active site availability
B)Rampant heat transfer acceleration
C)Increased methane partial pressures
D)Decreased free radical recombination

💡 Explanation

Sulfur poisoning blocks active sites due to chemisorption, following Langmuir adsorption isotherm, resulting in reduced catalyst activity. Therefore, active site availability decreases, slowing the methane cracking reaction rate rather than accelerating heat transfer or radical formation because the mechanism focuses only on surface deactivation.
