← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an exothermic reaction's equilibrium constant increases significantly?
A)Reverse reaction rate increases more
B)Activation energy barrier increases
C)Forward reaction consumes reagents faster✓
D)Overall enthalpy change approaches zero
💡 Explanation
When an exothermic reaction's equilibrium constant increases, the forward reaction is favored because increased temperature alters the balance and releases more heat based on Le Chatelier's principle consequently leading to the faster reduction of the reagent concentrations.. Therefore faster reagent consumption occurs, increasing rate constant unlike other options influenced with catalysts enthalpy changes.
