Give an example for heterogeneous catalysis. |

Answer» Solution :REACTANT molecules adsorb on the surface of the CATALYST, there by increasing the concentration of the VARIOUS reactant molecules on the surface of the catalyst. * Adsorption being exothermic process, the heat of adsorption is utilised in enhancing the rate of the REACTION. * Occurane of chemical reaction on the catalyst's surface through the formation of an intermediate between catalyst and REACTANTS. * Desorption of reaction products from the catalyst surface and thereby making the surface available again for more reaction to occur. |
