← ScienceWhich risk increases when increasing temperature favors gaseous products over reactants in a reversible closed system reaction?
A)Reduced reverse reaction activation energy
B)Increased rate of condensation
C)Higher explosion risk from pressure✓
D)Lower reactant concentration at equilibrium
💡 Explanation
High temperature shift will favor the side with more gas molecules. This drives the reaction forwards to reach equilibrium again. Therefore, the pressure increases rapidly in a closed vessel because of a runaway effect, rather than simply Le Chatelier's principle applying.
