← ScienceIf a chemical plant's cooling system suddenly fails, increasing reactor temperature, which outcome concerning reaction dynamics occurs?
A)Reaction rate drastically increases exponentially.✓
B)Equilibrium shifts to reverse reaction.
C)Catalyst deactivation linearly increases.
D)Activation energy threshold slowly decreases.
💡 Explanation
The reaction rate increases exponentially because the Arrhenius equation dictates that rate constants are exponentially dependent on temperature through Collision Theory; therefore temperature increases the reaction rate drastically, rather than shifting equilibrium or affecting activation energy.
