← ScienceWhich 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.
