1.	According to the adsorption theory of catalysis, the speed of the reaction increases because
Answer» adsorption lower the activation energy of the reaction the CONCENTRATION of reactant molecules at the active centres of the catalyst BECOMES HIGH DUE to adsorption in the process of adsorption, the activation energy of the molecules become large adsorption produces heat which INCREASES the speed of the reaction. Solution :In heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption lowers the activation energy of the reaction.
