Which risk increases when catalyst particle size increases?

💡 Explanation

Larger catalyst particles reduce the overall surface area, because fewer active sites are available; therefore, lower surface area reduces reaction rate rather than increases it and is a dominating effect rather than any slight change in diffusion.
