Understanding the stoichiometry in catalytic reactions is essential for several reasons:
Reaction Efficiency: It helps in optimizing the amount of reactants required to achieve maximum yield, thereby improving the efficiency of the catalytic process. Catalyst Performance: It aids in assessing the performance of the catalyst by understanding how it affects the stoichiometric ratios of the reactants. Byproduct Formation: It helps in identifying and minimizing the formation of unwanted byproducts by controlling the stoichiometric ratios.
