← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when Arrhenius equation's frequency factor is significantly underestimated during reaction modeling?
A)Predicted rate constant is slower✓
B)Activation energy barrier increases
C)Equilibrium constant calculation incorrect
D)Reaction order identification inaccurate
💡 Explanation
When frequency factor (pre-exponential factor) is underestimated, the predicted rate constant is slower because the Arrhenius equation directly relates rate constant to this factor and temperature. Therefore the predicted rate is slower results, rather than higher activation energy, erroneous equilibrium, or incorrect order, which depend on different kinetic parameters or initial setups.
