← ScienceWhich risk increases when increasing reactant concentration in autocatalysis?
A)Runaway reaction rate escalation✓
B)Reduced catalyst reaction specificity
C)Equilibrium shifts favoring reactants
D)Decreased product-mediated inhibition rate
💡 Explanation
Runaway reaction rate escalation increases because the autocatalysis mechanism involves positive feedback to accelerating reaction rate. This leads to potential instability; therefore, a rate surge rather than equilibrium shift occurs, because substrate activation overrides inhibition.
