Chemical Reaction Engineering
The reaction rate almost gets doubled for 10°C rise in temperature. This is due to the fact that the

Value of threshold energy decreases
Increased temperature reduces the activation energy
Fraction of molecules having threshold energy increases
Collision frequency increases

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."

Inner catalyst core of radius 7R/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 R/2 does not participate in reaction
Inner catalyst core of radius R/8 does not participate in reaction

Chemical Reaction Engineering
For a heterogeneous catalytic reaction

The surface of the catalyst does not play an important role during reaction
Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of 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

For a heterogenous catalytic reaction, A + B → C, with equimole feed of A and B, the initial rate - rA0 is invariant with total pressure. The rate controlling step is

Surface reaction between A in the gas phase and absorbed B
Desorption of C
Surface Kc/(1 + TS) reaction between absorbed A and B in the gas phase
Surface reaction between absorbed A and absorbed B
