Question

what are some examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. please try to write equations with phases.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Which one of the following is an example for homogenous catalysis?

solution

Correct option is

C

Hydrolysis of sucrose in presence of dilute hydrochloric acid

Hydrolysis of sucrose in the presence of dilute hydrochloric acid is an example of homogenous catalysis. Here, the reactants, products, and catalysts are all in the same phase (aqueous phase).

sucrose (aq)

dil HCl (aq)

glucose (aq) + fructose (aq)

In heterogeneous catalysis, two or more phases are present. For example, in the hydrogenation of oil involves catalyst in the solid phase, hydrogen in gaseous state and oil in the liquid phase.
