Which outcome results from an industrial exothermic reactor exceeding optimal temperature?

💡 Explanation

A runaway reaction leading to a potential thermal explosion happens because the increased thermal energy accelerates the reaction rate according to the Arrhenius equation. Therefore, the reactor overheats, rather than allowing for increased selectivity at lower temperatures.
