Question 18 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which statement describes a homogeneous catalyst?

Answer
A
It forms different products than the uncatalyzed reaction forms.
B
It is completely consumed by reactants.
C
It is in a gaseous phase only.
D
It is in the same phase as the reactants.

Explanation

A homogeneous catalyst is in the same physical phase as the reactants, such as all being dissolved in the same solution. It speeds up the reaction without being completely consumed, and it does not define a different set of products; therefore, the correct statement is that it is in the same phase as the reactants.
