Which consequence results when an industrial reactor's cooling limit is surpassed during an exothermic equilibrium reaction?

A)Equilibrium shifts toward reactants
B)Inert gas injection is triggered
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates
D)Product selectivity is enhanced

💡 Explanation

An increased temperature, due to insufficient cooling, favors the reverse, endothermic reaction shift, per Le Chatelier's principle, increasing reactant concentration due to equilibrium shifts; therefore, reactants are preferred rather than products because the reaction favors dissipating excess heat.
