    Which of the following chemical reaction represents homogeneous catalysis?

    A)  \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{Fe}2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\]

    B)  \[2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{NO}2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\]

    C)  \[CO(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{Ni}C{{H}_{4}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}O(g)\]

    D)  \[2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{{V}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}}2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     When the physical states (such as solid, liquid, gas) of reactants and catalyst are same then such type of catalysis is known as homogeneous catalysis. \[2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{NO(g)}2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\] In the above reaction both reactants and catalyst are in the gaseous state.
