Several factors influence the efficiency and outcome of catalytic reactions:
Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase reaction rates but may also lead to catalyst deactivation. Pressure: Especially relevant in gas-phase reactions; higher pressure can increase the number of collisions between reactant molecules. Concentration: The amount of reactants can affect the rate and extent of the reaction. Catalyst Surface Area: A larger surface area allows more reactants to interact with the catalyst simultaneously. pH Levels: Important in reactions involving ionizable species, where the pH can affect the catalyst's activity.
