Q12 / 180 · KCET 2013 · Chemistry

Adsorption theory is applicable for

  • A
    homogeneous catalysis
  • Correct answer
    B
    heterogeneous catalysis
  • C
    autocatalysis
  • D
    induced catalysis

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.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
