4Question 4.
True or False: Catalysts are consumed in the reactions they facilitate.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definition of a catalyst.
Question 5.
How would the efficiency of a catalyst be impacted if it has a limited number of active sites available for adsorption?
Show hintHide hint
Think about traffic flow: the more lanes there are, the smoother the movement!
Question 6.
Explain how improving the surface area of a catalyst affects its catalytic activity.
Show hintHide hint
More surface area means more 'dance partners' available on the 'dance floor'.
