In industrial heterogeneous catalysis, substances like Molybdenum (Mo) are frequently added to the mSurface Chemistry Chemistry Question

Question

In industrial heterogeneous catalysis, substances like Molybdenum (Mo) are frequently added to the main solid catalyst (Fe) in Haber's process. What exact kinetic role does Molybdenum play, and what is its specific classification?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Promoters are substances that are not catalysts themselves but, when added, alter the lattice spacing or increase the physical roughness of the primary solid catalyst, massively increasing its overall efficiency. Molybdenum strictly promotes the iron catalyst in Haber's process.
