Question
What are homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts?
Solution
Answer:
When the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase (i.e., liquid or gas), the process is said to be homogeneous catalysis.
When the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase (i.e., liquid or gas), the process is said to be homogeneous catalysis.
The catalytic process in which the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases is known as heterogeneous.
