Detailed Solution
Reaction in which catalyst is in different phase than other (reactants and products) is known as heterogeneous catalysis.(ii) 2SO2(g) →Pt(s) 2SO3(g) Here, reactant SO2 and product SO3 are in gaseous phase while platinum is in solid phase. So, this reaction represents a heterogeneous catalysis.(iii) N2(g)+3H2(g) →Fe(s) 2NH3(g) Similarly, here, reactant N2 and H2 and product NH3 are in gaseous phase, while Fe is in solid phase. So, this reaction represents a heterogeneous catalysis. Whereas, in other reactions catalyst is in same phase with reactant(s) and product(s).
