Which process accelerates equilibrium in solid-state catalyst synthesis?

A)Ostwald ripening effect
B)Kinetic isotope fractionation
C)Arrhenius equation application
D)Dielectric polarization increase

💡 Explanation

Ostwald ripening involves larger crystals growing as smaller ones dissolve, maximizing surface free energy reduction towards equilibrium, because larger crystals are thermodynamically more stable. Therefore, equilibrium is reached faster via Ostwald ripening rather than through other kinetic or physical effects.
