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.
Thermal energy/ heat energy
Answer:
Typically, strong acids and bases, solutions with a pH < 2 or a pH > 12, and some solvents, such as formic acid, glacial acetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid, which are particularly aggressive against tissue.
