Interpretation:
The difference between homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis has to be distinguished.
Concept introduction:
Catalyst: A substance or a compound which promotes the rate of a
Homogeneous catalyst: In a catalytic reaction the phase of the reactant and catalyst must be in same phase.
Heterogeneous catalysts: In a catalytic reaction the phase of the reactant and catalyst were in different phases.
Homogeneous catalysis: In a chemical catalysis reaction solution by a soluble catalyst is said to be homogeneous catalysis.
Heterogeneous catalysis: In a chemical catalysis reaction, the phases of reactant and catalyst are different.
