In solid state catalysis, what is the mechanistic difference between the Langmuir- a. Hinshelwood and the Rideal-Eley mechanism? b. In gas phase reactions, why are unimolecular reactions observed to show second order kinetics under certain conditions? In aqueous solution, how is the rate constant of a reaction between two anionic reactants affected by the ionic strength? с. d. In enzyme kinetics, why does an enzyme catalysed reaction show zero order kinetics at high concentration of the substrate?

With regards to this, I have been reading journals about activated carbon that is being modified. Now, the activated carbon is modified through acid treatment, and sulfuric acid is added to it. The result was, that there is a presence of SO3-, C=O=C, and C=O on the modified activated carbon. They concluded that the process of sulfonation on the activated carbon treated with sulfuric acid took place. Can you explain the chemistry/mechanism/reaction that happened? Explain in detail and clearly. Thank you so much!
