Which consequence results should a batch reactor experience unexpected auto-catalysis?

A)Lower activation energy threshold attained
B)Exothermic reaction runaway accelerates quickly
C)Equilibrium constant becomes easily reversible
D)Reaction order shifts towards first order

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway accelerates reaction rates because positive feedback via autocatalysis amplifies exothermic heat. Therefore temperature rises rapidly rather than achieving threshold changes or shifting the order, because auto-catalysis overwhelms normal cooling.
