Higher activation energy results in a slower reaction rate.
Explanation: Activation energy (Ea) is the energy barrier reactants must overcome to react. According to the Arrhenius equation (k = A·e^(−Ea/RT)), a larger Ea reduces the exponential factor, giving a smaller rate constant k and thus a slower reaction.
