Which effect occurs when increasing catalyst surface area, assuming constant temperature?

💡 Explanation

Increased catalyst surface area allows more reactant molecule adsorption, therefore the reaction rate constants increase because more active sites are accessible, rather than shifting equilibrium which depends on thermodynamics or altering inherent properties.
