Which risk increases when surface treatment of a catalyst is flawed?

💡 Explanation

Reaction rate decreases because catalyst surface area determines the number of active sites where reactions occur, and flawed treatment inhibits adsorption; therefore, fewer reactants adsorb and fewer conversion events happen, lowering the reaction rate, rather than affecting the equilibrium itself or the pressure only.
