1. (a) They are able to reversibly adsorb large amounts of gases onto their surface. (b) It increases the surface area so makes the catalyst more efficient. (c) 2C8H18(g) + 25O2(g) ⟶ 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g) (d) 2NO(g) ⟶ N2(g) + O2(g)2NO2(g) ⟶ N2(g) + 2O2(g) (e) If there is an excess of air more nitrogen and oxygen combine to form NOx. If there is an excess of fuel more carbon monoxide and particulate carbon is formed. In...
