Chemical Reaction Engineering
When the reaction is dominated by in-traparticle diffusion, the apparent order of reaction (nD) as measured is related to the true order (n) as
The catalyst does not form an intermediate complex with the reactant
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 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
