Which risk increases when a chemical plant's cooling system delays quenching an exothermic reaction?

💡 Explanation

Delayed quenching of the reaction elevates temperature, thus uncontrolled chain branching accelerates because the high-temperature increases the concentrations of radical species, therefore this leads to a runaway reaction, rather than equilibrium shifting or catalyst malfunction.
