Chemical Reaction Engineering
Considering the endotheomic dissociation of CaCO₃ in a closed vessel (CaCO₃ ⇋ CaO + CO₂), the pressure of CO₂ increases, if
A catalyst is added
An inert gas is pumped keeping the temperature constant
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
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
