Which consequence results when excessive heat increases nitrous oxide decomposition?

💡 Explanation

Excessive heat provides energy driving the **chain branching** reactions faster, because more radicals overcome the activation energy barrier; therefore, the self-propagation accelerates, resulting in a thermal runaway, rapidly branching, rather than slower or reversed decomposition.
