What is the Role of Physical State in Reactant Feed?
The physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) of the reactant feed also plays a vital role. For example, in gas-phase catalysis, the reactants must be in the gaseous state to interact effectively with the catalyst. In liquid-phase catalysis, solubility and diffusion of reactants in the solvent can impact the reaction rate. The physical state must be compatible with the catalytic system to achieve optimal performance.
