pressure variations

Can pressure changes affect catalyst selectivity?

Yes, pressure can also impact the selectivity of a catalyst. Selectivity refers to the ability of a catalyst to direct the reaction towards a specific product. Changes in pressure can favor the formation of one product over another, thereby altering the selectivity. For example, in hydrocarbon cracking, varying the pressure can change the distribution of products between lighter and heavier hydrocarbons.
