Science

Which outcome occurs when the concentration of a reactant in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) oscillating reaction approaches zero?

A)Damping of oscillatory reaction rate
B)Increased amplitude of oscillation
C)Sustained oscillations at stable levels
D)Faster convergence on the fixed point

💡 Explanation

Damping occurs in oscillatory reaction rate because diminished reactant concentration limits the rate of reactions that promote sustained cycles. Therefore, oscillations decay rather than stabilizing or accelerating, because reactants are fully consumed halting kinetic feedback loops.
