Question

What is a homogeneous catalyst? What are the advantages/disadvantages of it over heterogeneous catalysts?

Answer 1

What is a homogeneous catalyst?

Answer : -

Homogeneous catalysts are those which exist in the same phase (gas or liquid) as the reactants, while heterogeneous catalysts are not in the same phase as the reactants. Typically, heterogeneous catalysis involves the use of solid catalysts placed in a liquid reaction mixture.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of it over heterogeneous catalysts?

Answer :-

Advantages and Disadvantages : -

Homogeneous catalysts are generally more selective than heterogeneous catalysts. For exothermic processes, homogeneous catalysts dump heat into the solvent. Homogeneous catalysts are easier to characterize precisely, so their reaction mechanisms are amenable to rational manipulation.
