Which outcome results when an inhibitor reduces the effective Arrhenius A-factor?

💡 Explanation

A lower A-factor decreases the pre-exponential term because it limits collision frequency. Therefore, the reaction rate slows down exponentially, rather than altering the activation energy or equilibrium; those require catalysts altering different constants.
