Which outcome occurs when thermal energy elevates reactants past the activation energy barrier?

💡 Explanation

Elevated thermal energy causes more molecules to surpass the activation energy via Arrhenius equation, leading to *exponential increase* in reaction kinetics rates because this promotes more productive collisions; therefore the reaction accelerates sharply, rather than reversing equilibrium or limiting catalysis.
