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

    A)  Manufacture of sulphuric acid by Contact process

    B)  Manufacture of ammonia by Habefs 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] \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}(g)2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\] (Habefs process) It is an example of heterogeneous catalysis. [c] \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}(aq)+{{H}_{2}}O(aq){{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\]      \[+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\] Thus, it is also an example of heterogeneous catalysis.
