← ScienceWhich outcome reduces the chemical reaction rate within an industrial catalytic converter?
A)Catalyst surface area reduction occurs✓
B)Increased flow rate of exhaust
C)Higher operating temperatures achieved
D)Enhanced mass transfer effectiveness shown
💡 Explanation
Reduced surface area decreases the reaction rate because fewer active sites exist for adsorption and reaction, impacting the effectiveness; therefore, catalytic activity declines, rather than increasing with higher flow or temperature. This constraint limits the mass action.
