Which outcome results when a catalyst reduces hydrogen activation energy?

💡 Explanation

Lowering the activation energy through **catalysis** increases the fraction of molecules possessing sufficient energy to react, because catalyst weakens the original hydrogen bond. Therefore the reaction rate increases; rather than a shift in equilibrium due to thermodynamics alone, other options apply for different effects.
