Which characteristic arises because high surface tension limits hydrogen production by electrochemical water splitting?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen production becomes limited because **Ostwald ripening** causes smaller bubbles to merge into large ones, hindering bubble release and passivation; therefore, surface coverage decreases, rather than promoting corrosion or Faradaic inefficiency under proper electrochemical conditions.
