Which outcome increases when catalyst particle size decreases?

A)Reaction turnover rate per reactor✓

B)Catalyst poisoning likelihood increases slowly

C)Rate of product decomposition decreases

D)Mechanical strength increases linearly locally

💡 Explanation

The total surface area increases with smaller catalyst particles, therefore more active sites are available. This increases the overall reaction rate via surface adsorption, rather than changes to intrinsic catalytic activity with constant total catalyst mass.
