Which consequence results when a reaction's rate constant declines under constant temperature?

💡 Explanation

A reduction in a rate constant decreases reaction speed because a lower rate translates to slower formation of products, hindering attainment of equilibrium; therefore, diminishing the K value directly, rather than raising catalytic speed or overcoming kinetic energy barriers.
