Which consequence arises when a catalyst degrades rapidly during continuous flow reaction processes?

💡 Explanation

When a catalyst degrades, surface area decreases; therefore active sites are reduced, slowing the macroscopic reaction rate, rather than resulting in products changing reaction selectivity, altering equilibriums, or impacting activation energy requirements, because activation is an inherent property.
