Several factors can impact the reliability of results in catalysis:
Experimental Conditions: Variations in temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations can lead to different outcomes. Catalyst Preparation: The method of preparing the catalyst, including its purity and morphology, can significantly influence the results. Measurement Techniques: The accuracy and precision of analytical techniques used to measure reaction rates, yields, and product distributions are crucial. Human Error: Mistakes in setting up experiments or interpreting data can lead to unreliable results. Computational Models: The assumptions and parameters used in computational models can affect the outcomes and their reliability.
