  2. No product withdrawn during operation
  3. Operates at steady state
  4. Operated for a specified duration

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) Operates at steady state

Explanation

A reacting batch changes composition with time, so it is inherently unsteady during conversion. Hence **C** is false. In an ideal batch, all feed is charged initially and products are removed after the selected reaction duration, consistent with A, B, D.
