It change the toxic gases into non toxic gases (that are exhausted)
that is true
Catalytic converters are made of platinum-iridium catalyst or a ceramic monolith
The common catalyst in automobile exhaust is a catalytic converter, which contains precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. This device helps to convert harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor through a chemical reaction.
The automobile was arguably the most important catalyst for social change in the 1920's, liberating Americans from often restrictive home or neighborhood situations. Many women used the cars to save time in their daily domestic chores.
A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction, and remains as it was. It causes the start of the reaction, but is still there AFTER the reaction. Example- the catalytic converter on an automobile exhaust contains platinum metal. This causes a chemical reaction to take place in the exhaust gasses, but the metal remains in the converter, and is not consumed.
This substance is called a catalyst.
Catalyst is not a reactant.
what is the purpose of catalyst in textile paint?
The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.
The substances which increase the rate of a chemical reaction are called a Positive Catalyst whereas The substances which decrease the rate of a chemical reaction are called Negative Catalyst. Positive Catalyst decreases the Activation energy of reactant molecules whereas negative catalyst increases the Activation energy of the reactant molecules. Positive Catalyst is also called the Promoter whereas negative catalyst is also called Inhibitor.
yeap, a heat catalyst
The heterogeneous catalyst is not mixed with the reactants.
