In the case of a heterogeneous reaction involving a metal catalyst the reactants often form covalent bonds with the metal catalyst. O repel from the metal catalyst and concentrate in one area. interact with the metal on its surface. O are adsorbed onto the metal surface. O form pits on the metal catalyst.

5.4. Supersaturated solutions can be made in which more solute is dissolved in solution than would normally dissolve. These solutions are inherently unstable, however. A seed crystal of calcium acetate, , precipitates the excess solute from a supersaturated solution of calcium acetate. When the excess solute has finished precipitating, a chemical equilibrium is established. Write the chemical equations for that equilibrium, and write the net chemical reaction that occurs overall.

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?
