Which undesired outcome happens as platinum catalyst ages?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst poisoning reduces active surface area; Hydrogen sulfide binds strongly to open metal sites via **chemisorption**, blocking the catalytic reaction from occurring because sulfide bonds are stronger here, therefore poisoning rather than rate change is the significant aging outcome.
