    What is meant by ‘shape-selective catalysis’ of reactions?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    A catalytic reaction that depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and on the size of the reactant and the product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis.

    For example, catalysis by zeolites is a shape-selective catalysis. The pore size present in the zeolites ranges from 260-740 pm. Thus, molecules having a pore size more than this cannot enter the zeolite and undergo the reaction.

  • Q10

    Explain how you can determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal if you know its mass, density and the dimensions of unit cell of its crystal.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    By knowing the density of an unknown metal and the dimension of its unit cell, the atomic mass of the metal can be determined.
    Let ‘a’ be the edge length of a unit cell of a crystal, ‘d’ be the density of the metal, ‘m’ be the mass of each metal atom and ‘Z’ be the number of atoms in the unit cell.
