Definition: Catalysis
A catalyst is a substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed. The phenomenon is called catalysis.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 12
Key Points: Types of Catalysis
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Homogeneous |
Reactants and catalyst are in the same phase \[\ce{\underset{}{2SO2(g) + O2(g)} ->[NO(g)][]\underset{}{2SO3(g)}}\] |
| Heterogeneous |
Reactants and catalyst are in different phases \[\ce{\underset{}{N2(g) + 3H2(g)} ->[][Fe(s)]\underset{}{2NH3(g)}}\] |
| On the basis of the mechanism of catalysis: |
|
| Positive catalysis | Catalyst enhances the rate of reaction |
| Negative catalysis | Catalyst retards the rate of reaction |
| Auto-catalysis | One of the products acts as catalyst |
| Induced catalysis | One reaction induces the rate of another reaction |
