← ScienceWhich risk greatly increases when exothermic reactions lack sufficient heat dissipation?
A)Runaway chain reaction initiation✓
B)Decreased activation energy barriers
C)Reverse reaction pathway dominance
D)Reduced catalytic surface poisoning
💡 Explanation
A runaway chain reaction is more likely because positive feedback loop causes exponential temperature and rate increase during auto-catalysis; therefore, initiation risk rises rather than a simple barrier decrease otherwise managed.
