What role does adsorption play in heterogeneous catalysis?

Options

  1. AAdsorption has no role in heterogeneous catalysis.
  2. BAdsorption helps in the dispersion of catalysts in the reaction mixture.
  3. CAdsorption increases the rate of heterogeneous catalytic reactions by providing a surface for reactants to ads
  4. DAdsorption inhibits catalytic reactions by blocking active sites.

Correct answer

C. Adsorption increases the rate of heterogeneous catalytic reactions by providing a surface for reactants to ads

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) Adsorption increases the rate of heterogeneous catalytic reactions by providing a surface for reactants to adsorb and react.
