Which outcome occurs when an industrial catalyst's surface area decreases during exothermic reaction processing?

💡 Explanation

When surface area reduces during catalysis, effective concentration decreases, therefore the reaction rate will decrease noticeably. This occurs because fewer reactant molecules can interact with the active surface, rather than equilibrium shifts or activation energy reduction.
