← ScienceWhich consequence results when a novel catalyst enhances surface reaction velocities?
A)Reduced reactor volume at constant rate✓
B)Equilibrium constant value decreases gradually
C)Increased activation energy barrier forms
D)Rate constants become thermodynamically unfavorable
💡 Explanation
Elevated surface reaction kinetics result from decreased activation energy, and enhancement of reaction rates is attributed to catalysis and diffusion. Therefore, smaller reactor volumes achieve target production rather than changes in equilibrium constants, which depend on thermodynamics alone, because the activation energy changes.
