Bulk diffusion in catalyst pore _______________ with increase in pressure?
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. Increases exponentially
Explanation
For bulk gas diffusion, increasing pressure increases molecular collision frequency and reduces the mean free path, so the diffusivity decreases approximately inversely with pressure. Hence option B is correct.
