In methanol synthesis, which outcome occurs by lowering the activation energy?

A)Increased proportion of activated complexes
B)Reactants become thermodynamically more stable
C)Equilibrium constant becomes exponentially smaller
D)Increased pressure increases catalyst poisoning

💡 Explanation

Catalysis lowers activation energy, therefore the reaction rate increases because a larger fraction of molecules achieve the transition state via the Arrhenius equation, rather than reactants becoming more stable thermodynamically.
