3. (a) (b) Answer ALL parts. Zeolites can be utilised as shape selective catalysts by exploiting the various shapes and dimensions of zeolite pores and channels. Discuss three types of shape selective catalysis, illustrating your answer with suitable examples and diagrams in each case. [18 marks] Silicon-germanium is an important material that is used in the fabrication of transistors. The phase diagram for the silicon-germanium system is given below. A sample of composition 20 wt% Si is made up and held at 1150 °C. Based on this information, answer the following (c) Using a suitable diagram, write a note on the rate of diffusion as it relates to solid-state reactions. [6 marks)
