Answer:
Homogeneous catalysis : When the reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase, the process is called homogeneous catalysis.
Example : 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) NO(g)−→−−− 2SO3 (g)
Heterogeneous catalysis : When the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases, the process is called heterogeneous catalysis.
Example : 2SO2 (g) Pt(s)−→−− 2SO3 (g)
