Which of the following is an example of a support material commonly used in solid catalysts?
Graphene
Silica
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Support materials are often used in solid catalysts to provide a stable structure and increase the surface area available for reactants to bind to.
Silica is a common support material used in solid catalysts due to its high surface area and low reactivity with many catalysts.
Graphene, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are not commonly used as support materials in solid catalysts In addition to alumina, other support materials commonly used in solid catalysts include silica (SiO2), zeolites, carbon, titanium dioxide (TiO2), and various metal oxides such as magnesium oxide (MgO) and cerium oxide (CeO2).
