What is the effect of a high activation energy on the rate of a reaction?

A. Increases the rate
B. Decreases the rate
C. Has no effect
D. Makes it spontaneous

Answer: Decreases the rate


Additional Information: A high activation energy means that fewer molecules have sufficient energy to react, resulting in a slower rate.


Subjects: Chemical Kinetics, Chemistry
