Which outcome occurs when system temperature significantly increases exceeding the rate constant assumptions in an exothermic reaction?

💡 Explanation

When the temperature increases significantly, the reaction rate will increase exponentially, exceeding the rate constant's validity range because of the Arrhenius equation dependency, causing a thermal runaway. Therefore a runaway reaction will occur, rather than equilibrium shift, catalyst deactivation, or increased product which require more controlled conditions.
