Three types of catalyst
Homogeneous cat
Heterogeneous cat
Auto cat
Explain homogeneous cat
same physical state as rxtants
Explain heterogeneous cat
Different physical state from rxtants
Explain auto cat
Eg of homo cat
2I- + S2O82- –> I2 + 2SO4-
a) 2I- + Fe3+ –> I2 + Fe2+
b) Fe2+ + S2O82- –> 2SO4- + Fe3+
Eg of auto
2MnO4- + 5C2O42- + 16H+
–>
2Mn2+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O
Eg of hetero
