Write two differences between homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The catalysis in which the state catalyst is in same phase as the reactants is called homogeneous catalysis. For example.
`2SO_2 (g) + O_2 (g) overset(NO(g))hArr 2SO_3 (s)`
The catalysis in which the catalyst is in different from that of the reactants is called heterogeneous catalysis. For example
`2SO_2 (g) + O_2 (g) overset(V_2 O_5)hArr 2SO_3 (g)`
