Which consequence results when the Arrhenius frequency factor increases unexpectedly in industrial ammonia synthesis?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway proceeds through positive feedback. An increased frequency factor raises reaction rate and heat release, which accelerates because catalyst surface area amplifies thermal effects via enhanced reaction kinetics; therefore a chain reaction, rather than changes to equilbrium, arises.
