In homogeneous catalysis, the catalyst and reactants are:

Answer: In the same phase.

  • A In different phases
  • B In the same phase
  • C Rarely mixed together
  • D Usually solids

Correct answer: B. In the same phase

Explanation: Homogeneous catalysis occurs when catalyst and reactants exist in the same phase, such as all being gases or all in solution.

Adsorption Isotherm: x/m vs PressureP (pressure)x/mlow P: x/m ∝ Phigh P: saturation plateauAt high pressure, all surface sites are occupied - the curve flattens (monolayer saturation)

A typical adsorption isotherm: x/m (mass adsorbed per gram of adsorbent) rises steeply at low pressure, then flattens into a saturation plateau as the adsorbent surface fills up.
