Which risk increases when a packed-bed reactor using vanadium(V) oxide catalyst deviates from optimal temperature, during sulfur dioxide oxidation?

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium shifts towards reverse reaction because increasing temperature in an exothermic reaction such as SO2 oxidation favors reactants according to Le Chatelier's principle. This is rather than improved catalysis because the reaction moves away from product formation.
