Which risk increases when internal cooling in a chemical reactor vessel lags optimal conditions while an exothermic reaction proceeds?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway increases with cooling lag because accumulated heat accelerates reactant consumption via Arrhenius Law and autocatalysis occurs, therefore the reaction becomes uncontrollably faster as additional heat is evolved, rather than merely crystallizing or reversing.
