उत्तर
The hydrolysis of an ester in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid is an example of homogeneous catalysis.
Explanation:
In this reaction, the dilute sulphuric acid (a mineral acid) acts as a catalyst and is present in the same phase (aqueous) as the ester, making the catalysis homogeneous. The acid catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, increasing the hydrolysis rate without being consumed.
