Which consequence results when an industrial catalytic reactor coolant fails?

💡 Explanation

The cooling system failure causes loss of temperature control, leading to a runaway exotherm through positive feedback; because the reaction accelerates exponentially. The shifting equilibrium favors undesired products, therefore reducing selectivity, rather than affecting surface area directly.
