Which risk increases when an endothermic catalyst is starved?

💡 Explanation

Exothermic decomposition becomes favored after catalysts are starved for reactants, which raises temperature; thermal equilibriums change because reactant consumption via the reaction lowers catalyst temperature therefore without reactants heat causes unintended reactions, rather than targeted pathways.
