Chemical Reaction Engineering
A chemical reaction, A → 3B, is conducted in a constant pressure vessel. Starting with pure A, the volume of the reaction mixture increases 3 times in 6 minutes. The fractional conversion is
The catalyst does not form an intermediate complex with the reactant
Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of reaction
The surface of the catalyst does not play an important role during reaction
A relatively small amount of catalyst can cause the conversion of large amount of reactants which does not mean that catalyst concentration is important
