← ScienceWhich consequence results when an industrial catalyst degrades during exothermal synthesis?
A)Runaway reaction rate diminishes safety✓
B)Lowered product viscosity requires adjustment
C)Elevated pressure increases yield stability
D)Inert gas concentration diminishes instantly
💡 Explanation
Runaway occurs because declining catalyst activity raises the required temperature to maintain the desired reaction rate, resulting in increased unreacted material and sharply escalated exothermal heat release; thus, safety diminishes rather than any composition shifts alone.
