Which consequence results when a chemical reactor loses thermal control?

💡 Explanation

A runaway reaction results because the Arrhenius equation dictates that the reaction rate constant increases exponentially with absolute temperature; therefore, increased temperature accelerates reaction rate, rather than approaches equilibrium at a slower pace.
