Which of the following statements is true about a catalyst?

A catalyst remains unchanged in mass at the end of the reaction The chemical composition of catalyst changes at the end of the reaction Catalyst initiates the reaction Catalyst changes the position of reaction equilibrium

The chemical reaction rate is a/an

Extensive property

Intensive property

Chemical property

Physical property

The general mole balance equation of species ‘i’ at any instant is as follows

Rate of moles of ‘i’ in = Rate of moles of ‘i’ out

Rate of moles of ‘i’ in + Rate of moles of ‘i’ out = Rate of moles of ‘i’ accumulated

Rate of moles of ‘i’ in + Rate of moles of ‘i’ accumulated = Rate of moles ‘i’ out

Rate of moles of ‘i’ in – Rate of moles of ‘i’ consumed by reaction – Rate of moles of ‘i’ out = Rate of moles of ‘i’ accumulated

In __, there are no spatial variations in concentration and temperature.

PFR

Tubular reactor

CSTR

Packed bed reactor

The kinetic rate law is a/an

Linear equation

Algebraic equation

Quadratic equation
