← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when triethylamine is added during an esterification?
A)Equilibrium shifts toward ester product✓
B)Reaction's rate constant decreases linearly
C)Activation energy of reverse reaction increases
D)Catalyst deactivation pathways get upregulated
💡 Explanation
Adding triethylamine neutralizes byproduct acid, driving equilibrium forward under Le Chatelier's principle; therefore, ester product yield increases rather than other kinetic effects, because reaction rate constants aren't directly affected by byproduct removal.
