NEETChemistrySurface Chemistry
What is the role of desorption in the process of catalysis?
Options
- ADesorption is the step where the reactants are adsorbed onto the catalyst surface.
- BDesorption helps to remove the product molecules from the catalyst surface, allowing new reactants to come in
- CDesorption increases the temperature of the system, facilitating the reaction.
- 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.
