Adsorption theory is applicable for

Options

  1. Ahomogeneous catalysis
  2. Bheterogeneous catalysis
  3. Cautocatalysis
  4. Dinduced catalysis

Correct answer

B. heterogeneous catalysis

Step-by-step solution

Adsorption theory is applicable for solid catalysts which show heterogenous catalysis. According to this theory, the gaseous reactants are adsorbed in the surface of the solid catalyst. As a result, the concentration of the reactants increases on the surface and hence the rate of reaction increases.
