Which effect occurs in a chemical reactor when space velocity exceeds catalyst turnover frequency?

💡 Explanation

When space velocity exceeds catalyst turnover frequency, insufficient contact time hinders complete reaction, thus lower selectivity occurs because reaction rates are limited by surface interaction instead of bulk concentration. Therefore product selectivity decreases rather than altered reactant profiles because the catalyst performance is overwhelmed by process speed.
