← ScienceWhich outcome happens when reactor temperature oscillates causing unstable Arrhenius behavior?
A)Rate constant becomes time dependent✓
B)Equilibrium constant immediately re-establishes
C)Equilibrium shifts without rate dependence
D)Activation energy reaches a threshold
💡 Explanation
The rate constant 'k' is directly affected by temperature oscillations, because the *Arrhenius equation*, which expresses the temperature dependence of reaction rates, becomes less valid in highly dynamic thermal regimes; therefore, the rate becomes a function of time, rather than just temperature, rather than a stable temperature effect.
