Which risk increases when pressure on a reactor holding gaseous reactants exceeds the virial limit?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the virial limit forces molecules into closer proximity, increasing collision frequency because the increased concentration outweighs molecular kinetic energy. This favors a rate surge due to collision theory; therefore, the kinetics race out of control rather than different catalytic or solubilization effects.
