← ScienceWhich shift occurs when surface area reduces catalyst effectiveness?
A)Equilibrium shifts towards reactant production✓
B)Reaction activation energy decreases markedly
C)Overall reaction rate quickly accelerates
D)Equilibrium constant directly increases tenfold
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium shifts favoring reactants because Le Chatelier's principle dictates that systems oppose disturbances; decreased catalyst surface area reduces the forward reaction rate, therefore the equilibrium shifts to favor the initial reactants rather than products.
