Which consequence results when Arrhenius constant variation diminishes reaction rate?

💡 Explanation

Lower pre-exponential factor prevents overcoming any activation energy barrier; therefore, the overall rate decreases because the frequency factor in the 'Arrhenius equation' now dictates the rate, rather than catalyst activity under different conditions.
