A homogenous catalyst is in the same phase as the reactancts. A heterogenous catalyst is in a different phase to the reactants. For example, if all the starting materials in the reaction were liquids and you were using a liquid catalyst, then this would be homogenous catalysis. Other examples include the action of gaseous chlorine atoms to break down gaseous ozone in the atmosphere. In industry, heterogenous catalysts are generally used. This is often in the form of solid metals like iron and gaseous reactants. Metals are good catalysts are usually solid, so any time you use a metal catalyst you will have heterogenous catalysis as the reactants won't also be solids.
A homogeneous mixture is one in which all components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. In a heterogeneous mixture the components are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Actually, the main difference is in their uniformity. Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures have distinct phases with visible boundaries. Chemical bonds are not a defining factor for distinguishing between these types of mixtures.
"Homogeneous" refers to something that is uniform or consistent in nature, while "homogeneous" means that all components of a mixture are evenly distributed. Both terms describe uniformity but in different contexts - one in terms of property, the other in terms of composition.
A mixture is composed of substances that are not chemically combined, and which do not have a definite composition. A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout. Examples of a heterogeneous mixture are granite or beef stew.
Homogeneous accretion involves the accumulation of similar materials, leading to uniform compositions. In contrast, heterogeneous accretion involves the accumulation of diverse materials, resulting in non-uniform compositions. Homogeneous accretion is more likely to occur in environments with a single dominant material source, while heterogeneous accretion is common in environments with multiple material sources.
strictly speaking soluble enzymes are homogeneous catalysts and membrane-bound enzymes are heterogeneous.
The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.
homogeneous = same and the heterogeneous = different
one way to tell the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous is that homogeneous is clear and heterogeneous isn't. by alison the 7th grader
The heterogeneous catalyst is not mixed with the reactants.
true
A Homogeneous database will have only one DBMS, while heterogeneous databases have multiple DBMS's
Composites are heterogeneous mixture But blends are homogeneous

In every point of a homogeneous mixture the concentration remains unalter, but the concentration is different for hetrogeneous mixture.
