Which outcome is most increased at equilibrium when lowering the Arrhenius pre-exponential constant of one catalyst?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the pre-exponential factor lowers the forward and reverse rate constants equally which cancel within the equilibrium constant equation. This balance occurs because the equilibrium constant is function thermodynamics rather than kinetics; therefore, option D, rather than others will always be the consequence.
