Several factors can influence the transient phase, including:
1. Reactant Concentration: Variations in reactant concentration can impact the rate of reaction and the formation of intermediates. 2. Temperature: Temperature fluctuations can affect the reaction kinetics and the stability of the catalyst. 3. Pressure: Changes in pressure can alter the phase behavior of reactants and products, impacting the transient phase. 4. Catalyst Properties: The physical and chemical properties of the catalyst, such as surface area, pore size, and active sites, play a crucial role.
