← ScienceWhich consequence results when a thermal runaway shifts an exothermic reaction to higher temperatures?
A)Equilibrium constant increases exponentially✓
B)Products become kinetically limited overall
C)Endothermic pathway starts dominating entirely
D)Activation energy threshold instantaneously rises
💡 Explanation
An uncontrolled thermal runaway increases the apparent equilibrium constant exponentially according to the Arrhenius equation, because reaction velocity increase dominates therefore product formation accelerates, rather than kinetic or path limitations if the initial activation is effective.
