Which mechanism causes increased alkane cracking when zeolite catalysts overheat?

💡 Explanation

Increased alkane cracking occurs because rising temperatures leads to increased vibrational mode excitation, breaking C-C bonds more readily; therefore, the reaction accelerates, rather than slowing from diffusion limitations or surface area reduction.
