This episode explores the significance of chemical reaction rates, particularly within industrial contexts. 

We highlight that while faster reactions can increase production output, they are not always optimal. 

There are potential downsides to accelerated reaction speeds, including elevated costs associated with creating the necessary conditions and increased safety risks. 

Consequently, industrial applications of chemical reactions necessitate a careful balance between the desired speed and practical considerations of expense and security to maximise profit.
