Which consequence results when the rate constant exceeds temperature limits?

💡 Explanation

Excessive exothermic runaway occurs when the rate constant increases above safe design parameters, because thermal energy generation exceeds cooling limits. Therefore, the system overheats rapidly, rather than proceeding towards safe equilibrium conditions under control.
