Which risk increases when a catalyst loses surface?

💡 Explanation

When a catalyst loses reactive sites, surface area decreases, therefore fewer reactant molecules can be activated; catalytic activity thus decreases because the activation energy requirement cannot be effectively bypassed by induced dipole interactions like the London dispersion force within enzymes, rather than altering equilibrium.
