chemist in South America claims to have discovered a new element with an atomic number of 34. An extremely rare element, it was
found in a sample recovered from the Andes Mountains. Unfortunately, he has used up all of the sample in his analysis.

Answer:
The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction
The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
Explanation:
A catalyst is a material which speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. A heterogeneous catalyst is one which is of a different phase than the reactants. The effectiveness of a catalyst is dependent on the available surface area. The first step for this question is to determine the total available surface area of catalyst in both processes.
Step 1: Determine radius of large sphere
Step 2: Determine surface area of large sphere
Step 3: Determine radius of small sphere
Step 4: Determine surface area of small sphere
Step 5: Determine total surface area of 8 small spheres
- Surface area of 1 large sphere
- Surface area of 8 small spheres
Options:
- The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
- The second run will be slower - false, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
- The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction
- The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
- The second run has eight times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
- The second run has 10 times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
