← ScienceWhich risk increases when the Arrhenius equation predicts exceedingly high reaction rates at extremely elevated temperatures within a chemical reactor?
A)Runaway chain branching explosion✓
B)Catalyst thermal deactivation occurs
C)Equilibrium favors reactant regeneration
D)Viscosity gradients inhibit diffusion
💡 Explanation
A runaway chain branching explosion increases because the exponential temperature dependence rapidly accelerates propagation steps, quickly raising temperature; therefore, the speed increases rather than the reactions equilibrating because the reagents get consumed.
