Answer» Correct answer is (C) INCREASE the RADIUS R The best EXPLANATION: Internal diffusion limits the observed rate when decreasing dp increases –r’A . If the rate increases when dp decreases but does not change with FT0, then larger dp is LIMITED by internal diffusion. (where, FT0 is the particle size, dp is the diameter and –r’A is the reaction rate).
