← ScienceWhich consequence results when a batch reactor's cooling system failure affects its thermodynamic temperature?
A)The product's activation energy increases.
B)Runaway reaction causes thermal explosion.✓
C)The rate's catalyst equilibrium shifts.
D)Kinetics induce a higher order.
💡 Explanation
A runaway reaction and thermal explosion occurs because the Arrhenius equation dictates reaction rate increases exponentially with absolute temperature; thermal runaway dominates, therefore there is explosion rather than a linear temperature increase affecting simpler kinetics.
