What is the Optimal Temperature Range for Catalytic Reactions?
The optimal temperature range for catalytic reactions depends on the specific reaction and the catalyst used. For example, in enzymatic catalysis, the optimal temperature is usually close to the physiological temperature of the organism. In industrial processes like Haber-Bosch synthesis of ammonia, the optimal temperature range is typically between 400-500°C. Identifying this range involves a balance between reaction rate and catalyst stability.
