Which of the following are the benefits of using catalysts in industrial processes?(1)Needing higher temperatures for reactions(2) Lowering the operating temperature(3) Getting more product in a relatively shorter period oftime
A
and (2) only
B
and (3) only
C
and (3) only
D
, (2) and (3)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Catalysts are used in many industrial processes, for example in refining petroleum to break long chain hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, producing ammonia in the Haber process, and synthesising drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.

Detailed explanation-2: -Catalysts play a critical role in modern industry. Today, catalysts are involved in the production of over 80 percent of all manufactured products. Moreover, approximately 90 percent of all industrial chemicals produced in the world use catalysts within the manufacturing process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction to Catalysis Catalysts make it easier for a chemical reaction to occur. In a chemical reaction, starting chemicals, called reactants, are transformed into different chemicals with new properties, called products. Over the course of the reaction, reactants are consumed and used to make products.
