← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal runaway occurs in immobilized enzyme reactors?
A)Increased reaction rate uncontrollably✓
B)Decreased substrate diffusion limitations
C)Higher enzyme effectiveness factor
D)Lower apparent Michaelis constant
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway accelerates exothermic reactions uncontrollably due to positive feedback; because the reaction rate increases exponentially. The mechanism is Arrhenius kinetics, therefore heat generation exceeds heat removal, rather than reaching equilibrium; this would occur with efficient heat management.
