Which kinetic consequence results when lowering activation energy?

💡 Explanation

When a catalyst lowers a reaction's energy barrier, the reaction proceeds by catalytic action, thereby increasing the reaction rate because the number of successful collisions increases; therefore, the overall reaction rate increases rather than an equilibrium shift or sensitivity change.
