    Which of the following is an example for heterogeneous catalysis reaction?

    A)  \[2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{No(g)}2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\]

    B)     Hydrolysis of aqueous sucrose solution in the presence of a aqueous mineral acid

    C)     \[2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}(l)\xrightarrow{Pt(s)}2{{H}_{2}}O(l)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    D)     Hydrolysis of liquid in the presence of aqueous mineral acid

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}(l)\xrightarrow{Pt(s)}2{{H}_{2}}O(l)+{{O}_{2}}(g).\] In this reaction, reactant and catalyst are in different phase, hence it is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.
