Which outcome lowers the transesterification reaction production rate?

A)Increased mixing reactant concentration initially
B)Removal of the glycerol byproduct
C)Accumulation of alcohol byproduct
D)Elevated temperatures during alcoholysis reaction

💡 Explanation

Accumulation of the alcohol byproduct decreases reaction rate because the reverse reaction is favored via Le Chatelier's principle; this reduces the forward kinetic rate; therefore, accumulation decreases yield, rather than increasing temperature which often improves transesterification.
