Which limit exists as the Arrhenius equation constant 'A' increases within an industrial catalytic reactor?

A)Substrate diffusion rate limitations increase
B)Product equilibrium shifts to reactants
C)Catalyst surface area becomes irrelevant
D)Activation energy remains unchanged drastically

💡 Explanation

Increasing 'A', the pre-exponential factor, boosts the reaction rate; surface reaction acceleration can't outpace reactant availability because mass transport becomes the limiting factor, therefore, diffusion rate limitations increase rather than the reaction progressing unimpeded or equilibrium state change.
