Which behavior alters the rate constant disproportionately at higher temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Vibrational mode anharmonicity dominates because high energy collisions excite higher vibrational modes leading to bond breaking, thus changing molecular structures and potential energy surfaces; therefore, the rate constant increases faster, rather than conforming to simple exponential temperature dependence predicted in the Arrhenius equation.
