What Types of Products Are Formed in Catalytic Reactions?
The products of catalytic reactions can vary widely depending on the nature of the reactants and the type of catalyst used. For example:
- Chemical Catalysis: Involves inorganic or organic catalysts leading to products like ammonia in the Haber process. - Biocatalysis: Uses enzymes to produce complex organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals. - Photocatalysis: Utilizes light to drive reactions, producing products like hydrogen in water splitting.
