Which condition decreases reaction rate when reactant potential energy increases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing temperature lowers reaction rates because molecules possess less kinetic energy inhibiting overcoming the activation energy barrier; therefore, reaction rate drops rather than increases found through higher catalyst activity when temperature decreases.
