Which outcome occurs when compressed ethane's reactor feed spontaneously ignites?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled ignition causes a rapid increase in temperature, which accelerates the radical chain mechanism dramatically; because of this acceleration, chain branching increases due to the higher concentration of radicals formed; therefore radical presence propagates the explosion, rather than catalyst sites being affected or carbenes stabilizing.
