Question:

Chemical common sense about the catalyst

Why the catalyst is required to have a large surface area and a rich pore structure

Answer:

Chemical reactions are generally contact reaction, of course, the more contact with the faster response, pore structure is to increase the contact area
Has a large surface area, is the reactants and catalyst contact more fully, improve the catalytic effect
In order to speed up the absorption, speed up the reaction rate
So that the use of more fully catalyst, the effect is better.
Because of the chemical reaction, the larger the contact area, the faster the reaction rate, therefore, the catalyst has a large surface area or pore structure, are to increase the contact area of the catalyst and reactants.
