Question

A finely divided state of the catalyst is more efficient because in this state:

• A. more surface area is available
• B. more energy is stored in the catalyst
• C. positive charge is acquired
• D. negative charge is acquired

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

more surface area is available

A finely divided state of the catalyst is more efficient because in this state the catalyst can have more surface area which increases the efficiency of the catalyst by interacting with reactants.

Hence option A is correct.
