Question:
Which of the following catalysis can be explained by the adsorption theory?
Options:
Homogeneous catalysis
Acid-base catalysis
Enzyme catalysis
Heterogeneous catalysis
Correct Answer:
Heterogeneous catalysis
Explanation:
The theory states that the catalyst binds to the reactants on the surface of the catalyst, and that the reactants then react with each other to form the product. Adsorption is an essential step in heterogeneous catalysis.
