Chemical Reaction Engineering
"A spherical porous catalyst particle of radius R is subjected to reactant A which reacts to form B by a zero order surface reaction A → B. Film mass transfer resistance is negligible and pore diffusion of A is rate controlling. The effectiveness factor of the catalyst is reported as 7/8. Which of the following statement is true?A. Inner catalyst core of radius R/8 does not participate in reaction."

Ffectiveness factor for a zero order reaction can not be 7/8 as it must always be 1
Inner catalyst core of radius 7R/8 does not participate in reaction
Inner catalyst core of radius R/2 does not participate in reaction
Inner catalyst core of radius R/8 does not participate in reaction

Chemical Reaction Engineering
The rate expression for a heterogenous catalytic reaction is given by, - rA = K.KA PA(1 + KA.PA + Kr.PR), where K is surface reaction rate constant and KA and KR are absorption equilibrium constants of A and R respectively. If KR PR >> (1 + KA PA), the apparent activation energy EA is equal to (given E is the activation energy for the reaction and ΔHR and ΔHA are the activation energies of adsorption of R and A)

E + ΔHA - ΔHR
E + ΔHA
E
ΔHA + ΔHR
