Chapter 13, Problem 72P(choose chapter or problem)
In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.0 \(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\). Calculate the surface area of the catalyst. If the sphere is broken down into eight spheres, each having a volume of 1.25 \(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\), what is the total surface area of the spheres? Which of the two geometric configurations of the catalyst is more effective? (The surface area of a sphere is 4 \(\pi r^{2}\), where r is the radius of the sphere.) Based on your analysis here, explain why it is sometimes dangerous to work in grain elevators.
