Which risk increases when a stirred-tank reactor lacks baffles?

💡 Explanation

Without baffles, bulk fluid rotation overshadows effective mixing, thus decreasing contact between reactants. This incomplete mixing causes a decline in collision frequency via reduced mass transfer, therefore diminishing the reaction rate rather than causing corrosion, contamination, or runaway which involve separate phenomena.
