Which outcome occurs when temperature decreases in exothermic equilibrium?

A)Equilibrium shifts to product formation
B)Equilibrium constant (K) decreases slightly
C)Endothermic reactant consumption rate increases
D)Activation energy (Ea) drastically decreases

💡 Explanation

Decreasing temperature favors the exothermic direction driving Le Chatelier's principle, influencing equilibrium; the exothermic reaction produces heat, lessening the temperature drop. This happens because equilibrium shifts favor heat production rather than altering constant or activation energy.
