A non-catalytic fluid solid reaction differs from a catalytic one in that

  • A.the solid is consumed by the reaction
  • B.no fluid is involved in it at all
  • C.no solid is involved in it at all
  • D.the reaction is always a reversible one

Answer: A

Correct answer: the solid is consumed by the reaction

A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction it promotes and can in principle serve indefinitely; in a non-catalytic fluid–solid reaction the solid is a reactant and is used up. Ore roasting, coal combustion and the calcination of limestone are all of this kind, and the consequence is that the particle changes with time - which is what the shrinking core model exists to describe.
