← ScienceWhich consequence results when a polymerization reactor's heat removal capacity drops below required levels?
A)Chain termination rate decreases slightly
B)Average polymer chain length reduces
C)Thermal runaway and reactor damage✓
D)Monomer concentration reaches equilibrium faster
💡 Explanation
A lower heat removal rate causes the polymerization reaction rate to increase via the Arrhenius equation, leading to an accumulation of more heat, which causes an unstable chain reaction and thermal runaway, therefore reactor damage is initiated, rather than a stabilized monomer reaction.
