Homogeneous Catalysis

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A homogeneous catalyst exists in the same phase as the reactants, forming an intermediate that later decomposes to regenerate the catalyst.

Show

Gaseous nitric oxide catalyzes gas-phase ozone decomposition, reacting with ozone in one step and being regenerated in a later one.

Watch for

A homogeneous catalyst must still be regenerated by the end — appearing once with nothing reproducing it makes it a reactant.
