Which outcome relating to equilibrium constants results from kinetic isotope effect?

💡 Explanation

Kinetic isotope effect can change reaction rates if a bond to an isotope is broken or formed; the altered rate constants will impact equilibrium because the equilibrium constant Keq is a function of those rate constants, therefore option A, rather than changes unrelated to reaction mechanisms.
