Which effect occurs when adding a catalyst inhibiting surface area?

💡 Explanation

Adding a surface area inhibiting catalyst increases the *activation energy* necessary, because the catalysed reaction that reduces the activation energy needs surface contact; therefore the reaction slows drastically, rather than increasing rate constants, as would occur with standard catalysis.
