What are the important concepts of catalysis that adsorption theory explains? |
|
Answer» Solution :The adsorption theory explains the following (i) Increase in the activity of a CATALYST by increasing the surface area. Increase in the surface area of metals and metal oxides by reducing the particle size INCREASES the RATE of the reaction. (II) The action of catalytic poison OCCURS when the poison blocks the active centres of the catalyst. (iii) A promoter or activator increases the number of active centres on the surfaces. |
