Hydrogenation of vegetable oils in the presence of finely divided nickel as catalyst. The reaction is

A

enzyme catalysed reaction

B

liquid catalysed reaction

C

heterogeneous catalysis

D

homogeneous catalysis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hydrogenation of vegetable oils in presence of finely divided nickel as catalyst is an example of heterogeneous catalytic reaction because one of the reactants is in liquid state and the other is in gaseous state, while the catalyst is in solid state.
