Which outcome increases when a reaction's activation energy decreases?

A)Reaction rate constant increases sharply
B)Equilibrium constant exhibits no change
C)Pre-exponential factor remains unchanged
D)Products' thermodynamic stability sharply decreases

💡 Explanation

Decreased activation energy increases the reaction rate constant, because Arrhenius's equation dictates an exponential relationship. Therefore, more reactions will occur for a given energy input, rather than changes elsewhere, when temperature-independent factors hold.
