← ScienceWhich risk increases when adjusting the equilibrium constant?
A)Reaction rate exceeds safety limits✓
B)Products reverse to form reagents
C)Increase in required activation energy
D)Catalyst stability significantly degrades quickly
💡 Explanation
Too quick of a change in rate constant causes runaway reactions, because chemical equilibrium shifts via Le Chatelier's principle; therefore the reaction rate spikes beyond the reactor's designed thermal safety margin, rather than kinetic barriers shifting for a stable system.
