"A solid catalyst with highly dispersed active metal on supported material is typically considered one of the important factors in controlling the catalytic activity". Please determine whether this statement is true or not. Give your explanation.

What is the value of the equilibrium constant of a reaction if the forward rate constant was 2.8102M1s1 and the reverse rate constant was 3.6104M1s1?

Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
