Exhaust that come from cars actually contains many harmful substances. So harmful that in the 70's the government mandated the adoption of catalytic converters. Catalytic converters are devices that employ a catalyst to transform pollutants in the exhaust to less harmful substances.
Got Catalyst?
Catalyst actually helped compose many common reactions such as,
- Ammonia
- iron and nitrogen (produces ammonia)
- Nitric Acid (produced from ammonia)
- Sulfuric Acid and more
Catalyst: Where It All Started
Catalysis
Kircchof,Davy, and Berzelius' contributions is what helped us to define catalyst as what they are today by running a serious of trials and drawing certain theories, each different in there own way.
Origin of Catalysts
In 1812, a Russian chemist by the name of Gottlieb Kirccof noticed when a suspension of starch in water was boiled nothing changed in the starch. However, when he added a few drops of concentrated acid before boiling the suspension, he received a very different result. This time the starch had broke down to form glucose while the acid underwent no change.
