← ScienceWhich 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.
