1.

Give three examples for homogeneous catalysis.

Answer»

Solution : (i) Decomposition of acetaldehyde by `I_(2)` catalyst.
` UNDERSET("Acetaldehyde")(CH_3CHO_((g))) OVERSET(I_(2_(g))) to underset("Methan")(CH_(4_(g))) + underset("Carbon monoxide")(CO_((g)))`
(ii) Hydrolysis of cane SUGAR with mineral acid
`underset("Sucrose(l)")(C_(12)O_(22)O_(11))+H_2O_((l)) overset(H_2SO_(4(l)))to underset("Glucose")(C_6H_(12)O_(6(l))) + underset("Fructose")(C_6H_(12)O_(6(l)))`
(iii) Acid hydrolysis of an ESTER
`underset("Ethyl acetate ")(CH_3COOC_2H_(5_(l))) + H_2O_((l)) overset(H_2SO_(4(l)))to CH_3COOH_((l)) + C_2H_5OH_((l))`
