Which of the following factors are responsible for the increase in the rate of a surface catalyzed reaction? (i) A catalyst provides proper orientation for the reactant molecules to react. (ii) The heat of adsorption of reactants on a catalyst helps reactant molecules to overcome activation energy. (iii) The catalyst increases the activation energy of the reaction.
Catalyst orients the molecules properly, so that reaction occurs The heat of adsorption of reactant molecules on a catalyst helps reactants to overcome the activation energy A catalyst increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the energy of activation. Hence (i) and (ii) are the correct options.
Consider the following reactions at 300 K: X $$\rightarrow$$ Y (uncatalysed reaction) & X $$\rightarrow$$ Y (catalysed reaction). The energy of activation is lowered by 83.14 kJmol$$^{-1}$$ for the catalysed reaction. The rate of catalysed reaction is:
The half-life of a substance in a certain enzyme catalysed reaction is 138 s. The time required for the concentration of the substance to fall from $$1.28 mg L^{-1}$$ to $$0.04 mg L^{-1}$$ is:
For a given reaction, energy of activation for forward reaction $$(E_{af})$$ is $$80kJ.mol^{-1}.$$ $$\Delta H = -40kJ.mol^{-1}$$ for the reaction. A catalyst lowers $$E_{af}$$ to $$20 kJ.mol^{-1}.$$ The ratio of energy of activation for reverse reaction before and after addition of catalyst is :
