Which consequence results when catalyst lattice parameters mismatch?

A)Decreased catalytic surface area
B)Increased product inhibition effects
C)Enhanced catalyst thermal stability
D)Improved reactant diffusion through pores

💡 Explanation

Decreased catalytic surface area occurs via catalyst sintering, because the lattice mismatch causes increased surface energy leading to agglomeration; therefore fewer active sites are exposed rather than increased stability arising from decreased surface energy.
