Which outcome occurs when increasing jacket cooling fluid temperature while operating a continuous stirred-tank reactor?

A)Exothermic runaway from decreased stability
B)Increased selectivity from lower temperature
C)Endothermic shifts toward product formation
D)Decreased side product formation overall

💡 Explanation

Decreasing heat removal accelerates reaction kinetics because temperature dependence follows the Arrhenius equation; an exothermic reaction generates heat faster than cooling, therefore thermal runaway. This is rather than better control or endothermic behavior, which rely on appropriate feedback and different heat flow.
