A heterogeneous catalyst is a substance which is different in phase from the reactants, and increases the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, while remaining chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. The large surface area to volume ratio of platinum nanoparticles. Inhaled nanopartciles can be deposited throughout the human respiratory system, followed by translocation potentially to the brain, liver and spleen. In view of the larger surface area, nanoparticles may show an increased toxicity compared to larger particles of the same chemical composition.

CO is oxidised to CO2 since the oxidation number of carbon increases from +2 in CO to +4 in CO2, while NO is reduced to N2 since the oxidation number of nitrogen decreases from +2 in NO to 0 in N2. Increasing the pressure causes the gas molecules to be closer together, therefore increasing the frequency of collision between the molecules. As a result, the frequency of effective collision also increases, leading to an increase in the rate of reaction.

The end-point of a weak acid-strong base titration like in this case has a pH > 7. If the working range of the indicator is below that of the end-point pH and before the region of rapid pH increase, it will change colour before the end-point, leading to a smaller mean titre volume. A buffer solution is one that is capable of resisting pH changes when small amount of acid or base is added. When small amount of an acid is added, the equilibrium shifts to the left thereby removing the acid. When a small amount of a base is added, the base is removed by the H+, where the equilibrium shifts right to replenish the H+. Since small amount of acid and base is removed, the pH remains relatively constant.  X  n n 2 2 H XH r 0.912 0.0380 mol24.0 0.0380 mol 1.02 26.840.0380 n A Since X is divalent, it is likely to be magnesium.

Terylene has high tensile strength and ability to stretch and is less prone to creasing. This is because there is restriction rotation about the C=C and each of the double bond C has two different substitutents on it. The ester functional group in Terylene may undergo alkaline hydrolysis when treated with
