Question

(a) Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis with one example each,
(b) What do you understand by catalytic promoter. Give an example. [2 + 1 = 3]

Answer 1

Answer:

homogeneous catalysis=phase of catalyst is same in products and reactants

heterogeneous catalysis=phase of catalyst is different from prosucta and reactants

Explanation:

catalytic promoter is a catalyst that increases speed of catalytic reaction for example=Manganese dioxide
