A catalyst______________________?

A catalyst______________________?

A. Initiates a reaction
B. Lowers the activation energy of reacting molecules
C. Is capable of reacting with any one of the reactants
D. Cannot be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of a chemical reaction

The rate controlling step for the heterogeneous irreversible catalytic reaction A(g) + B(g) → C(g) is the surface reaction of absorbed A with absorbed B to give adsorbed C. The rate expression for this reaction can then be written as (where, KA, KB and KC are the equilibrium constants and is the rate constant of the rate controlling step) ?

For a heterogeneous catalytic reaction____________________?

For a heterogeneous catalytic reaction____________________?

A. Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at
the end of reaction

B. A relatively small amount of catalyst can cause the conversion of large amount of reactants
which does not mean that catalyst concentration is important
C. The catalyst does not form an intermediate complex with the reactant
D. The surface of the catalyst does not play an important role during reaction
