What is the role of desorption in the process of catalysis?

Options

  1. ADesorption is the step where the reactants are adsorbed onto the catalyst surface.
  2. BDesorption helps to remove the product molecules from the catalyst surface, allowing new reactants to come in
  3. CDesorption increases the temperature of the system, facilitating the reaction.
  4. DDesorption is not relevant in catalysis.

Correct answer

B. Desorption helps to remove the product molecules from the catalyst surface, allowing new reactants to come in

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) Desorption helps to remove the product molecules from the catalyst surface, allowing new reactants to come in contact with the active sites.
