Which outcome arises when increasing temperature accelerates forward reaction rate of equilibrium, despite equilibrium constant shift?

A)Increased reactant concentration consumed✓

B)Activation energy required decreases sharply

C)Reverse reaction immediately becomes endothermic

D)Catalyst deactivation increases exponentially

💡 Explanation

When temperature increases, it adds energy activating more reactants because the temperature dependence of reaction rate rises more rapidly than the changing equilibrium constant, leading to greater reactant consumption. Therefore, reactant concentration decreases rather than decreased activation energy, reverse becoming endothermic, catalyst immediate deactivation which require differing processes.
