What kind of catalyst is always in the same physical state as the reactant?

A) Heterogeneous catalyst
B) Iron catalyst
C) Homogeneous catalyst
D) Chemiluminescent catalyst

Homogeneous Catalyst

A catalyst that is in the same phase (solid, liquid, or gas) as the reactants, facilitating the reaction uniformly.

Physical State

The physical state refers to the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on, primarily solid, liquid, and gas.

Reactant

A substance that undergoes chemical changes in a reaction.

  • Discern the differences between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts and their roles in applications.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Homogeneous catalysts are in the same physical state as the reactants, typically both being in the gas or liquid phase, which allows for easier interaction and reaction facilitation.
