← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thermal energy approaches Arrhenius equation's activation energy?
A)Reaction rate increases exponentially✓
B)Equilibrium shifts towards reactants
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates
D)Rate constant achieves zero value
💡 Explanation
When thermal energy approaches activation energy, the Boltzmann distribution provides sufficient molecules to overcome the energy barrier via *collisional activation*, therefore reaction rate exponentially increases rather than suppressing the reaction, because alternative options lack sufficient initial kinetic energy.
