In which of the following reactions heterogeneous catalysis is involved?

(i) 2\text {SO}_{2}(g)+ \text {O}_{2}\overset{V_{2}O_{5}}{\rightarrow}2 {SO}_{3}(g)

(ii) 2\text {SO}_{2}(g)+O_{2}\overset{NO_{(g)}}{\rightarrow}2\text {SO}_{3}(g)

 (iii) \text {N}_{2}(g)+3\text {H}_{2}(g)\overset{Fe}{\rightarrow} 2\text {NH}_{3}(g)

 (iv) \text {CH}_{3}\text {COOCH}_{3}+\text {H}_{2} \text {O}\overset{HCl}{\rightarrow}\text {CH}_{3}\text {COOH}(aq)+\text {CH}_{3}\text {OH}\text {(aq)}

(a) (i), (iii)

(b) (ii), (iii), (iv)

(c) (i), (ii), (iii)

(d) (iv)

The answer is the option (i).

Reaction (I) and (III) are heterogeneous catalysis since reacting species and products are in the gas phase and catalyst is in the solid phase.
