Which consequence results when iron rusting catalyst surface-area decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the catalyst surface area diminishes available sites for accelerating corrosion through surface catalysis; because the rate determining step slows down, therefore the corrosion rate decreases asymptotically towards zero, rather than affecting activation thresholds.
