← ScienceWhich rate-altering mechanism dominates when a solid catalyst surface area in a liquid reaction increases?
A)Enhanced reactant adsorption rate✓
B)Reduced activation energy barrier
C)Increased product desorption rate
D)Stabilization of reaction intermediates
💡 Explanation
When solid catalyst surface area increases, the number of available active sites for reactant molecules escalates, leading to enhanced reactant adsorption based on surface kinetics. Enhanced adsorption therefore results, rather than energy reduction since that's intrinsic to inherent catalytic properties alone.
