. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
What does it mean to describe a reaction as reversible?
(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rate constants decrease with increasing temperature. The higher the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. O Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.
