Which risk increases when a pressurized tank contains high molarity hydrogen peroxide?

A)Galloping fatigue crack propagation
B)Spontaneous decomposition occurs
C)Oxidation-induced metal embrittlement
D)Erosion by turbulent flows increases

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous decomposition increases due to increased molecular concentration coupled with the exothermic nature of the reaction. This is autocatalysis, because the heat released increases the reaction rate, therefore a runaway reaction, rather than other corrosion or fatigue related failures, will occur.
