Question

Define catalysis and types of catalysis.

Answer 1

Answer:

Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst.

TYPES OF CATALYSIS

1)HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS

2)HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

1. A Catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without taking part in the actual reaction and being affected.

2. Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as catalysis.

3. Types of catalysis are:

a) Homogeneous Catalysis:- Catalyst and reactants are in the same phase, usually liquid.

b) Heterogeneous Catalysis:- Catalyst and reactants are in a different phase.

c) Enzymatic Catalysis:- Catalyst is an enzyme (macromolecules made of amino acids).
