Which outcome arises when adjusting the impeller speed in a CSTR nearing chemical equilibrium?

A)Localized super saturation precipitates rapidly
B)Equilibrium shifts favouring exothermic reactants
C)The reaction remains macroscopically at equilibrium
D)Diffusion limitations prematurely halt completion

💡 Explanation

Macroscopically, agitation doesn’t shift equilibrium but only speeds its attainment; mass action determines equilibrium. The **Le Chatelier's Principle** implies that changing impeller speed won’t shift the macroscopic equilibrium because its not a component. Therefore, the reaction at equilibrium persists microscopically rather than changing the equilibrium composition.
