To calculate the CV in catalytic studies, follow these steps: 1. Collect Data: Gather data points from repeated catalytic experiments, such as turnover frequency (TOF), yield, or conversion rates. 2. Calculate Mean (μ): Compute the average value of the data points. 3. Determine Standard Deviation (σ): Calculate the standard deviation of the data set to understand the spread of the data points. 4. Compute CV: Use the formula CV = (σ/μ) * 100% to find the coefficient of variation.
