← ScienceWhich consequence results when temperature decreases during exothermic reversible catalytic reaction?
A)Equilibrium shifts towards product formation✓
B)Catalyst deactivation rate increases rapidly
C)Reverse reaction rate increases sharply disproportionately
D)Overall activation energy barrier lessens
💡 Explanation
Lowering the temperature shifts the equilibrium towards products via Le Chatelier's principle, because the system compensates for the induced stress; therefore, more stable products form, rather than increasing catalyst decay under these conditions.
