Which of the following is not an example of heterogeneous catalyst?
Haber's process of NH3 synthesis
Catalytic conversion of SO2 to SO3 in contact process
Oxidation of ammonia into nitric oxide in Ostwald’s process.
Acidic hydrolysis of methyl acetate
In the hydrolysis of esters, all reactants, products as well as Catalysts (H+) are in the aqueous phase and hence it is an example of Homogenous catalysis
In Haber's process, the catalyst is Fe(s)
In the Contact process, the catalyst is V2O5(s)
In Ostwald's process, the catalyst is Pt(s)
In all the above reactions, the reactant(s) and product(s) are gaseous.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
