Q. Which of the following represent homogeneous catalysis?
A) $Oil + H_{2}\overset{\ \ \ \ \ Ni\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}\ saturated\ fat$
B) $N_{2}(g) + 3H_{2}(g)\ \overset{\ \ \ \ \ Fe\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}2{NH}_{3}(g)$
C) ${CH}_{3}COOH + C_{2}H_{5}OH\ \underset{\ \ \ \ \ H_{2}{SO}_{4}\ \ \ \ \ }{\overset{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ H^{+}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}\ CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} + H_{2}O$
D) All of the above
Explanation
(c)
Equation,
${CH}_{3}COOH(l) + C_{2}H_{5}OH(l)\underset{H_{2}{SO}_{4}(l)}{\overset{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ H^{+}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}\ {CH}_{3}{COOC}_{2}H_{5}(l) + H_{2}O(l)$ represents the homogeneous catalysis as all reactants and catalyst are in liquid state
