Platinised asbestos is used as a catalyst in, the manufacture of \( \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{S} \boldsymbol{O}_{4} \) It is an example of:

  • A. homogeneous catalyst
  • B. heterogeneous catalyst
  • C. autocatalyst
  • D. induced catalyst

Step-by-step solution

Platinised asbestos is a solid catalyst (platinum supported on asbestos) used in the Contact process for sulfuric acid. Since the reactants are gases and the catalyst is solid, it exists in a different phase, making it a heterogeneous catalyst.
