Question

Mention a chemical reaction involving a homogeneous catalyst.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The proton is the most pervasive homogeneous catalyst because water is the most common solvent. Water forms protons by the process of self-ionization of water. In an illustrative case, acids accelerate (catalyze) the hydrolysis of esters:

CH3CO2CH3 + H2O ⇌ CH3CO2H + CH3OH

In the absence of acids, aqueous solutions of most esters do not hydrolyze at practical rates.
