AI Generated Solution

To answer the question regarding how a heterogeneous catalyst helps in reactions, we will take two examples of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions and explain the role of the catalyst in each case. ### Step 1: Define Heterogeneous Catalysis Heterogeneous catalysis occurs when the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants. Typically, the catalyst is solid while the reactants are gases or liquids. ### Step 2: Example 1 - Haber Process - **Reaction**: The Haber process synthesizes ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases. - **Catalyst**: The catalyst used is iron (Fe), which is in a solid state. ...
