Question
It’s not steam, but in a namesake process, oil refineries use these substances to “crack” high-molecular weight petroleum into gasoline products. These substances are “perfect” if their efficiency is limited only by diffusion. The efficiency of these substances is impeded in “poisoning.” Leaded gasoline can impede the removal of carbon dioxide from exhaust with a “converter” named for these substances. These substances, which are called heterogeneous if they are in a different phase than reactants, provide a pathway with lower activation energy. For 10 points, name these species that increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed. ■END■
ANSWER: catalysts [accept fluid catalytic cracking or catalytic converter; prompt on enzymes]
