Catalyst carriers___________________?

Correct answer: C. Provide large surface area with a small amount of active material

  • A. Have very high selectivity
  • B. Increase the activity of a catalyst
  • C. Provide large surface area with a small amount of active material
  • D. Inhibit catalyst poisoning

Explanation

A catalyst carrier or support disperses a relatively small amount of active material over a large porous surface. This increases exposed active area, whereas high selectivity and poisoning resistance are not universal properties of carriers.
