Science

Which consequence results when a batch reactor's impeller fails, causing incomplete mixing that changes reagent concentration near the catalyst?

A)Ostwald ripening accelerates crystal growth
B)Reduced yield of the desired product
C)Increased rate equilibrium achievement
D)Chain termination propagation increases rapidly

💡 Explanation

The reduced yield of desired product occurs because, lacking uniform reagent distribution, catalyst sites experience varying concentrations. This affects the reaction kinetics via changes in local rate constants, therefore less product results, rather than a process like equilibrium shifting.
