In a heterogeneously catalyzed reaction, what must the reactants do to a solid catalyst?
A) React with it
B) Adhere to it for a short period of time
C) Adhere to it for a prolonged or permanent time
D) Fail to react with it
Heterogeneously Catalyzed
A reaction process aided by a catalyst that exists in a different phase than the reactants, usually solids catalyzing reactions in liquids or gases.
Solid Catalyst
A solid catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, and it maintains its solid physical state during the reaction.
Reactants
Starting materials in a chemical reaction, which are expended in the creation of the final substances.
