Etymology[edit]

This thread http://www.natscience.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/chem/2180/Origin-of-the-SI-Unit-Katal at natscience.com has some pointers as regards the etymology of "katal". 212.84.103.144 (talk) 04:25, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Makes little sense[edit]

The katal is invariant of the measurement procedure, but the numerical quantity value is not and depends on the experimental conditions. Therefore, in order to define the quantity of a catalyst, the rate of conversion of a defined chemical reaction is specified as mols reacted per second.
