An industrial chemical process uses nickel nanoparticles as a catalyst instead of bulk nickel granules. Explain, in terms of the surface area to volume ratio, why utilising nickel in the form of nanoparticles significantly increases the efficiency of the catalytic reaction.
Practise Edexcel GCSE Chemistry Bulk and surface properties of matter including nanoparticles with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 63 questions, matched to the Edexcel GCSE Chemistry (1CH0) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
