Which impact diminishes effectiveness most during sustained aggregate leaching?

💡 Explanation

Decreased effective reaction surface area hinders sustained leaching via reduction of contact points for solvent/solute interactions; this limits diffusion because increased surface contact facilitates ion exchange; therefore, leaching slows significantly rather than accelerates via other options.
