    Which one of the following is an example for homogeneous catalysis?

    A) Manufacture of sulphuric acid by Contact process

    B) Manufacture of ammonia by Habeas process

    C) Hydrolysis of sucrose in presence of dilute hydrochloric acid

    D) Hydrogenation of oil

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In homogeneous catalysis, reactants and catalyst are in the same phase. (a) \[S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)S{{O}_{3}}(g)\]                                                     (Contact process) It is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.  (b)\[{{N}_{2}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}(g)2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\]                                                     (Habers process) It is an example of heterogeneous catalysis. (c)\[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}(aq)+{{H}_{2}}O(aq){{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\]                                                                       \[+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\] It is an example of homogeneous catalysis.                  (d)\[Oil(l)+{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[Pt\,(s)]{(Hardening)}fat\] Thus, it is also an example of heterogeneous catalysis.
