Which consequence results when quicklime’s degradation lowers Greek Fire's exothermicity?

💡 Explanation

Quicklime (calcium oxide) provided intense heat; thus degradation reduces the thermite reaction via a decreased heat of hydration mechanism, impacting propellant force. Therefore effective range decreases, rather than structural failure, altered fluid behavior, or enhanced adhesion.
