Which consequence results when increased catalyst surface fouling?

💡 Explanation

Surface fouling blocks active sites on the catalyst, inhibiting reactant binding, because fewer molecules can interact via adsorption; therefore reaction rate decreases, rather than increasing as the reaction order changes.
