← ScienceWhich risk increases when industrial ammonia synthesis exceeds normal capacity?
A)Catalyst thermal runaway accelerates sharply✓
B)Reaction equilibrium shifts unfavorably
C)Product yield linearly drops downward
D)Refrigeration linearly reaches capacity
💡 Explanation
Catalyst thermal runaway accelerates sharply because reaction heat builds faster than dissipation; the Arrhenius equation explains this exponential temperature sensitivity. Therefore, runaway becomes likely rather than a simple performance drop because the activation energy barrier lowers.
