How can the Cost of Raw Materials affect an Industry Process? | -Starting Materials may first even have to be Refined, Purified or Created via another Chemical Reaction
-So the Cost of Extracting / Refining / Making will affect if the Process is Worth it at all. |
How can the Availability of Raw Materials affect an Industry Process? | -Some Resources are Nonrenewable that'll soon run out
-When thinking about the Starting Materials, make sure it is Renewable, or Common rather than in Extinction |
How can the Energy Costs affect the Industry Process? | -Reaching and Maintaining the Conditions for the Reactions to happen in the most Efficient Way.
-If you need High Temperatures and Pressures, you need a Big Budget |
How can the Rate affect the Industry Process? | -You realistically don't want to wait Ages for a Good Amount of Product to be Made, therefore making Rate an Important Factor
-Graphs can show how the Rate changes with Conditions
-Sometimes its Proportional - One Increases so will the Other [Rate and Temperature]
-Sometimes its Optimal - Rate has a Specific Point where its Fastest [Rate and pH] |
How can the Equilibrium Position affect the Industry Process? | -Some of the Reactions are Reversible, meaning you need to be able to Control the Equilibrium Position to get the Highest Yield, else it will take Too Long
-This can Tie up with the Energy Costs and the Rate - Sometimes it isn't always Prioritised |
