Q The rate expression for a heterogeneous catalytic reaction is given by, – rA = K.KA PA(1 + KA.PA + KR.PR), where K is surface reaction rate constant and KA and KR are absorption equilibrium constants of A and R respectively. If KR PR >> (1 + KA PA), the apparent activation energy EA is equal to (given E is the activation energy for the reaction and ΔHR and ΔHA are the activation energies of adsorption of R and A) ?
  • A A. E
  • B B. E + δha
  • C C. E + δha – δhr)
  • D D. Δha + δhr
