Which outcome results when a packed-bed reactor with solid catalyst experiences increased intraparticle diffusion limitations?

💡 Explanation

The observed reaction rate drops because increased intraparticle diffusion limits reactant access to the catalyst's active sites, becoming rate limiting, rather than the intrinsic reaction kinetics themselves. Therefore, the rate decreases, rather than selectivity changes or activity increases.
