Question
Write a note on catalytic poison.
Solution
Certain substances when added to a catalysed reaction, decrease or completely destroys the activity of the catalyst and they are often known as catalytic poisons.
For example, In the reaction, \[\ce{2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3}\] with a Pt catalyst, the poison is AS2O3 i.e., AS2O3 destroys the activity of pt. AS2O3 blocks the activity of the catalyst. So, the activity is lost.
