Science

Which outcome reduces a solid catalyst's turnover rate when pore diffusion is limiting?

A)Increased reactant adsorption strength
B)Decreased catalyst particle size
C)Increased operating temperature gradients
D)Elevated average surface coverage

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature gradients decrease turnover rate because the **Arrhenius equation** dictates exponentially lower rate at cooler interior sites relative to an assumed hot surface; therefore performance declines, rather than an enhancement typical with more uniform temperatures.
