← ScienceWhich risk increases when a catalyst inhibits equilibrium?
A)Thermal runaway in batch reactors✓
B)Elevated activation energy requirement
C)Decreased product formation rates
D)Reduced reactant mixing efficiency
💡 Explanation
Reduced consumption drives the reaction forward exothermically to establish a new equilibrium, releasing heat, therefore thermal runaway is prominent because the catalyst's inhibition prevents the reversible reaction from slowing down the reaction rate, rather than increased activation every or inefficiencies.
