0 2502(g) + O2(g)
NO(9), 250:(9)
CH3COOC2H50) + H2O(1)
HCIO)_ CH3COOH (aq) + C2H5OH (aq)
4NH3(g) + 502(g)
PiS), 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)
O
C12H22011(aq) + H20 (1) 48000, C6H1206(aq) + C6H1206(aq)​

Answer 1

The correct option is 4NH3(g) + 502(g)  PiS), 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Explanation:

• A heterogenous catalysis can be defined as a reaction in which the catalyst is not in the same state as that of the reactants.

• As we can see in the above reaction that the reactants NH3 and 02 are in gaseous state whereas the catalyst Pi is in the solid state.

• Hence, this reaction will be termed as a heterogenous reaction.
