Which 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.
