Which of the following would most likely result in the greatest decrease in the rate of a chemical reaction? (1 point)


Adding an enzyme inhibitor to a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme


Adding an enzyme to the reaction to decrease the activation energy


Decreasing the pH to create an acidic environment


Increasing the temperature of the reactants

Respuesta :

The option which would most likely result in the greatest decrease in the rate of a chemical reaction is adding an enzyme inhibitor to a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme.
Enzyme inhibitor is known for slowing down any processes, especially when it comes to chemical reactions, so I'd say A is the correct answer.
