A homogeneous catalytic process among the following is
- Haber?s process of manufacturing of ammonia
- Contact process of manufacturing sulphuric acid
- Ostwald?s process of manufacturing nitric acid
- Lead chamber process of manufacturing sulphuric acid
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Contact process: In the manufacture of $H_{2}SO_{4}$, $SO_{2}$ is oxidised to $SO_{3}$ using platinised asbestos or $V_{2}O_{5}$ as catalyst (heterogeneous catalysis).
Ostwald process : In the manufacture of $HNO_{3}$ $NH_{3}$ is oxidised to $NO$ using $Pt$ as catalyst (heterogeneous catalysis).
Lead chamber process : $SO_{2}$ is oxidised to $SO_{3}$ in the presence of $NO$ as catalyst (homogeneous catalysis)

Applications of surface chemistry are:
Adsorption:
The process of attraction and aggregation of the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid is known as adsorption. For Example, N2 adsorbs on the surface of activated charcoal
Two types of adsorption are:-
- Chemisorption: It is also known as Chemical Adsorption.
- Physisorption: It is also known as Physical Adsorption.
Corrosion:
The process through which the refined metals convert themselves into more stable compounds is known as corrosion.
Crystallisation:
The type of technique used in order to purify the substances to separate Solids from liquids is known as crystallisation.
Heterogeneous Catalysis:
The process wherein a catalyst is used in order to increase the rate of a chemical reaction is known as catalysis. The catalyst does not undergo any transformation and can be recovered in a chemically unchanged state.
There are two types of catalysis:-
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are same states of matter or in the same phase, it is known as Homogeneous Catalysis.
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are in different states of matter or different phases, it is known as Heterogeneous Catalysis.
