The conversion rate in catalysis refers to the percentage of reactants that are transformed into desired products during a chemical reaction. It is a critical parameter in evaluating the efficiency of a catalytic process. The conversion rate can be expressed mathematically as:
Conversion Rate (%) = (Amount of Reactant Converted / Initial Amount of Reactant) * 100
A higher conversion rate indicates a more efficient catalytic process, where a larger fraction of the reactant is converted into the product.
