Which risk increases when attempting to shift equilibrium by rapidly cooling exothermic gas reactor?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst deactivation is more likely because *thermal shock* will cause rapid temperature gradients, leading to cracking and loss of active surface area. Therefore, catalyst activity plummets rather than the reaction equilibrating via thermodynamic principles under controlled conditions.
