Comparison of the effects of stirring and standing on chemical reactions

For hundreds of years, it seems that people have needed stirring to conduct chemical experiments. This operation can be seen everywhere in chemical, pharmaceutical, material laboratories and factories. People generally believe that stirring helps with processes such as material dispersion, dissolution, and collision, thereby enabling more efficient reactions. However, why do chemical reactions that occur in nature not require stirring? what are the facts? For this purpose, we investigated a total of 329 organic chemical reactions in 8 categories and 25 types, including 26 chemical reactions magnified to gram even kilogram level. Under the same conditions of temperature, humidity, pressure, and reaction time, we compared the reaction yields under stirring and standing conditions. More than 600 data showed that stirring or not had almost no effect on the efficiency of chemical reactions in solution. If most chemical reactions turn off the agitator, it’s not difficult to imagine how much electricity should be saved!
