Question
Give an example of heterogeneously catalysed reaction.
Solution
Answer:
The catalytic process in which the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases is known as heterogeneous catalysis.
examples of heterogeneous catalysis are given below:
Oxidation of sulphur dioxide into sulphur trioxide in the
presence of Pt.
2SO2 (g) 2SO3 (g)
The reactant is in gaseous state while the catalyst is in the solid state.
