← ScienceWhich consequence results when an inhibitor reduces reaction order?
A)Rate constants become temperature dependent
B)Activation energy changes proportionally less✓
C)Equilibrium shifts dramatically forward
D)Catalyst half-life diminishes nonlinearly
💡 Explanation
A lower order reaction shows less sensitivity to concentration changes because the activation energy is now a smaller component of the overall rate. If the active 'available energy' changes only a little then delta-Eact will naturally be a smaller portion; therefore changes will only shift delta-H a bit rather than dramatically.
