actually it is very true, the "study" concerned 326 reactions
of all reactions available. if reactant is undissolved it is unavailable to the reaction, thus uncontributary to molar ratio.
this will limit yield, as well as creating an impromptu addition of a secondary quantity of reactant
this paper is qwackery, mr lowe demonstrates in this submission, a paucity regarding chemical reaction kinetics, and fails to cultivate a critical interpretation due to this lack of knowledge.
