Q

Outline how Iron can be used as both, a homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst.

A

As a Heterogeneous catalyst:

  • Haber Process: N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
  • The catalyst works by adsorption onto the surface

As a Homogenous catalyst:

  • Fe3+ and Fe2+
  • EQN: S2O82-+ 2I- -> 2SO42- + I2
  • How catalysts work: Fe3+ + I- -> Fe2+ + 1/2I2
