Examples of some common catalysts are:

Manganese dioxide: in decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide and Potassium chlorate

Sulfuric acid: in some esterification reactions

Vanadium(V) oxide: in oxidation of sulfur dioxide to trioxide

etc.

What are examples of anti-catalyst substances?

they are inhibitors of chemical reactions or diminishes the activity of a catalyst. The inhibition is temporary when the poison is adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst in preference to the reactants. The Permanent poisoning is when a covalent bond is formed between the poison and the catalyst.for example volatile sulfur and volatile silicon cause permanent poisoning during many cases. Arsenic are poison to platinum. In the reaction of decomposition of H2O2 by platinum, HCN act as poison. In another case CO act as poison to copper during the reaction of hydrogen and ethylene.

What is poisoning of catalysis?

Poisoning of catalysis refers to the process where an unwanted substance, known as a catalyst poison, inhibits the activity of a catalyst, reducing its effectiveness in facilitating a chemical reaction. This can occur when the poison adsorbs onto the active sites of the catalyst, blocking the reactants from interacting with it. Common examples include sulfur or lead in catalytic converters, which can significantly impair their performance. Ultimately, catalyst poisoning can lead to decreased reaction rates and increased production costs.

What is the difference between positive catalyst and negative catalyst?

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.


What is the difference between a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst?

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.


How can activation energy be reduced?

Allows more molecules to overcome the activation enthalpy, so there are more molecules available to collide with each other, increasing the chance of a successful collision, increasing the number of collisions per second and with it the rate of reaction.
