← ScienceWhich outcome reduces reaction rate when increasing temperature?
A)Reversible reaction exothermic conditions reached✓
B)Higher kinetic equilibrium point achieved
C)Irreversible reaction constant remains unchanged
D)Catalyst decomposition activation energies decrease
💡 Explanation
Reversible exothermic reactions release heat; increasing temperature favors the reverse reaction due to Le Chatelier's principle and shifts equilibrium. This decreases the forward reaction rate because heat drives reactants away from the desired product, rather than accelerating it.
