Which outcome occurs when lowering jacketed reactor temperature?

A)Kinetically controlled product increases selectivity✓

B)Equilibrium shifts toward reactants faster

C)Catalyst requires higher activation energy

D)Overall reaction rate proportionally quickens

💡 Explanation

Lowering the reactor temperature makes the reaction become increasingly limited by the Arrhenius equation because rate constants decrease exponentially. Therefore lower activation energy pathways become more prominent leading to kinetic control rather than thermodynamic factors dominating.
