Engineers are developing a process to produce phosphorus pentachloride. Which two criteria are the most essential when developing this process?

The two criteria that are most essential are options C and D

Explanation:

In trying to develop a new process/procedure for the commercial/industrial production of a particular substance (in this case phosphorus pentachloride), it is important that the workers that would operate the equipment required for this new procedure are able to operate it safely, i.e without fear of injury or losing one's life. If this fear is present or any adverse effect occurs, it would not only be counterproductive but would also make workers avoid using this procedure and may be forced to revert to previous safe procedure.

It is also essential for the new procedure to be able to get the most desired product out of the reactant, meaning the rate and amount of desired product (phosphorus pentachloride) that would be obtained from a given amount of reactant must be very high (a better upgrade when compared to the previous procedure). This is going to cause for a better amount of phosphorus pentachloride produced as against the previous amounts produced from previous procedure.

From the above, it can be deduced that options C and D are two criteria that are most essential when trying to develop a novel process to produce phosphorus pentachloride.
