Describe the adsorption theory of catalysis.

उत्तर
Langmuir explained the action of catalysts in heterogeneous catalysed reactions based on adsorption. The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surfaces, so this can also be called contact catalysis.
According to this theory, the reactants are adsorbed on the catalyst surface to form an activated complex which subsequently decomposes and gives the product.
The various steps involved in heterogeneous catalysed reactions are given as follows:
- Reactant molecules diffuse from bulk to the catalyst surface.
- The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst.
- The adsorbed reactant molecules are activated and form an activated complex which is decomposed to form the products.
- The product molecules are desorbed.
- The product diffuses away from the surface of the catalyst.
