Which outcome arises when a catalyst surface area decreases disproportionately in a continuous stirred-tank reactor processing reactants?

💡 Explanation

Lower surface area causes a decrease in active sites, therefore the reaction rate declines due to reduced reactant adsorption rather than enhanced activation energy or homogeneous transition because the reaction's mechanism itself did not change.
