The correct Answer is:
To determine the example of homogeneous catalysis from the given options, we need to follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Homogeneous Catalysis**: - Homogeneous catalysis occurs when the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase (either all gases, all liquids, or all solids). - In contrast, heterogeneous catalysis occurs when the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: Formation of Ammonia in Haber’s Process**: - Reactants: Nitrogen (gas) and Hydrogen (gas) - Catalyst: Finely divided Iron (solid) - Since the catalyst is in a different phase (solid), this is an example of heterogeneous catalysis. - **Option 2: Formation of NO in Ostwald’s Process**: - Reactants: Ammonia (gas) and Oxygen (gas) - Catalyst: Platinum gauze (solid) - Again, the catalyst is in a different phase (solid), making this an example of heterogeneous catalysis. - **Option 3: Formation of Sulfur Trioxide in Lead Chamber Process**: - Reactants: Sulfur Dioxide (gas) and Oxygen (gas) - Catalyst: Oxides of Nitrogen (gas) - Here, both the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase (gaseous), indicating that this is an example of homogeneous catalysis. - **Option 4: Formation of SO3 in Contact Process**: - Reactants: Sulfur Dioxide (gas) and Oxygen (gas) - Catalyst: Platinum (solid) - The catalyst is in a different phase (solid), so this is also an example of heterogeneous catalysis. 3. **Identify the Correct Option**: - From the analysis, **Option 3 (Formation of Sulfur Trioxide in Lead Chamber Process)** is the only example of homogeneous catalysis since both the reactants and the catalyst are in the gaseous phase. ### Final Answer: The example of homogeneous catalysis is **Option 3: Formation of Sulfur Trioxide in Lead Chamber Process**.
