← ScienceWhich consequence results when an industrial reactor's cooling limit is surpassed during an exothermic equilibrium reaction?
A)Equilibrium shifts toward reactants✓
B)Inert gas injection is triggered
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates
D)Product selectivity is enhanced
💡 Explanation
An increased temperature, due to insufficient cooling, favors the reverse, endothermic reaction shift, per Le Chatelier's principle, increasing reactant concentration due to equilibrium shifts; therefore, reactants are preferred rather than products because the reaction favors dissipating excess heat.
