Which outcome occurs when Arrhenius constant is significantly lower than expected in catalytic reactor?

A)Reaction rate being significantly slower
B)Equilibrium shifts towards product formation
C)Apparent activation energy reduces
D)Catalyst surface area increases rapidly

💡 Explanation

When the Arrhenius constant is lower, the number of successful collisions decreases, lowering pre-exponential factor because temperature sensitivity, leading to a slower reaction rate. Therefore a lower reaction rate is observed, rather than changed equilibrium, activation energy reduction or catalyst area increase which are indirectly affected by other parameters.
