Which outcome occurs when positive activation energy nears zero?

💡 Explanation

A very low or zero activation energy allows the rate constant to approach to its maximum value, because the Arrhenius equation dictates an exponential relationship; therefore, the forward rate greatly increases, rather than equilibrating or affecting the reverse direction.
