Which 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.
