Trials are essential for several reasons: 1. Performance Assessment: They help determine the efficacy of a catalyst in terms of activity, selectivity, and stability. 2. Optimization: Trials allow for the fine-tuning of reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and concentrations. 3. Discovery: New and more efficient catalysts can be discovered through systematic trials. 4. Scale-Up: Trials provide critical data needed to transition from laboratory-scale reactions to industrial-scale processes.
