Several factors can influence the outcome of catalytic reactions:
Catalyst type: Different catalysts, such as homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic, have varying properties that affect reaction rates and selectivity. Reaction conditions: Temperature, pressure, and solvent can significantly impact the reaction's progress and outcome. Substrate: The nature of the reactants, including their structure and functional groups, can determine how they interact with the catalyst. Catalyst loading: The amount of catalyst used can influence the reaction rate and efficiency. Inhibitors and promoters: Certain substances can either enhance or inhibit the catalyst's activity.
