Interpretation:
The difference between homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis has to be distinguished.
Concept introduction:
Catalyst: A substance or a compound which promotes the rate of a
Homogeneous catalyst: In a catalytic reaction the phase of the reactant and catalyst must be in same phase.
Heterogeneous catalysts: In a catalytic reaction the phase of the reactant and catalyst were in different phases.
Homogeneous catalysis: In a chemical catalysis reaction solution by a soluble catalyst is said to be homogeneous catalysis.
Heterogeneous catalysis: In a chemical catalysis reaction, the phases of reactant and catalyst are different.

- Explain how a species might be part of a rate law but not part of a balanced chemical reaction.arrow_forwardDefine stability from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Give examples to show the differences in these concepts.arrow_forwardMany biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Derive the rate law from this mechanism. Determine the order of reaction with respect to HA. Determine how doubling the concentration of HA would affect the rate of the reaction.arrow_forward
