When reactants are binding to the surface of the catalyst, it is important that the catalyst is strong enough to allow a reaction to take place, however having a strong catalyst could mean that the products could permenantly bind to the catalyst, which is a problem. So if the catalyst is too strong, the catalyst isnt very sucessful, and if it is too weak, it also isn't sucesful.
that is true
Yes. it is true.
Yes, it's true.
It is true that a catalyst is used in chemical reactions to help speed up the reaction by reducing activation energy.
it isnt true
True. That's one of the reasons you use them.
no it isnt
I think this refers to catalysts as these are considered not to be changed by a reaction-- sometimes this true when molecules react on the surface of a catalyst bu sometimes the catalyst does get involved in the chemical reaction- but is regenerated.
Reduces the activation energy of the reaction, which speeds up the progress of the reaction It increases the rate of a chemical reaction. However a true catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.
CFC's are catalysts. They fasten the rate of reaction.
Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.
