33 More Catalysis Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm Increasing T Slope=k A

34 Automotive Catalytic Converters -Placed inline with exhaust system (~ $500) -NO x plays big role in smog formation Propose a mechanism (from graph data, we see CO 2 is not on the surface and that the surface reaction is irreversible)

35 Is this consistent with the given data? -No CO 2 in rate law -rate law decreases as P N 2 increases The contribution of P N 2 is very small and can be neglected optimum
