← ScienceWhich risk of uncontrolled temperature increase raises the likelihood of a runaway process during exothermic chemical equilibrium?
A)Thermal runaway's exponential reaction increase✓
B)Declining kinetic energy lowers effectiveness
C)Reduced collision frequency halts equilibrium
D)Endothermic reaction shift suppresses heat
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled temperature rises initiate thermal runaway because the Arrhenius equation dictates exponential reaction rate increases with temperature; this amplifies heat release further, therefore thermal runaway occurs, rather than merely shifting the equilibrium. Other options inhibit such an outcome due to kinetics or Le Chatelier's principle.
