Which consequence results when a palladium catalyst's surface area is significantly reduced during alkene hydrogenation?

💡 Explanation

The hydrogenation rate decreases because the reduced surface area limits the available active sites for hydrogen adsorption and alkene binding via Adsorption Isotherm, therefore the reaction rate diminishes rather than altering selectivity due to intrinsic electronic properties.
