4.5 The Effect Of Catalysts Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to catalysts after they catalyse a reaction?
A
Nothing, they can be used up again and again as they are not affected in the reaction
2
Q
What adaption do solid catalysts have?
A
Large surface area to make them as effective as possible
3
Q
Why do different reactions need different catalysts?
A
Catalysts often only work with one type of reaction
4
Q
How do catalysts work?
A
They speed up the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy so more of the collisions result in a reaction
