Which risk increases when a solid catalyst deactivates?

💡 Explanation

Rate of product formation is decreased on the catalyst's surface because active sites become blocked via catalyst poisoning. Therefore, reaction rate slows, rather than increasing reaction conversion or issues like cavitation which are unrelated.
