Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous Catalysts - Basic Introduction

This video provides a basic introduction into homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. A Homogeneous catalyst exists in the same phase as the reactants and products. A heterogeneous catalyst exists in a different phase as the reactants and products.

I'm in gen chem currently and I've watched your videos for literally every final exam that I've had and they are so helpful. Thank you so much for putting time into making these!

[brickchang]

isn't it funny that my textbook managed to make a 9+ paragraph page explaining this :)) thank you again mr organic chemistry tutor

[emmanuelafful]

the best chemistry teacher I have witnessed..God bless you

[danos]

All of your lessons are masterclass. Thank you so much for uploading - Sensei Chemist

[georgesadler]

Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a short explanation into Homogeneous versus Heterogeneous Catalysts in AP/General Chemistry. Once again, a basic example shows the difference between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalyst in Modern Chemistry. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

welp that was so brief and into point exactly what i wanted bruh thank u man

[BeatriceAgyeman-hl]

God bless you for your IQ. My teacher tried explaining using about 30 minutes while you explained this within seconds 😅

GENIUS HE MADE ME UNDERSTOOD IT IN A FEW SRC VIDEO

hello I have a doubt: can we use any catalyst for a reaction

[narengautham]

yeah....it ws a vry simple explaination to understand the diff bw homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts

[mondirapaul]

What if:
Reactant A is a solid
Reactant B is aq
Catalyst is solid.
In my science experiment, I placed reactant A and the catalyst in a beaker of water. Then heated it. Then I put reactant B into the beaker and timed the reaction.
Is the catalyst hetero or homo?

My data indicates a homogenous catalysis mechanism occurred because when reactant A and catalyst were put together, there was a colour change, thus an intermediate product was formed. But I am second-guessing myself because isn't the definition of a homogenous catalyst is that it has to be in the same phase as ALL of the reactants?

Why is it called "phase" instead of just "state"?

This is the third top result when searching for "its automatically HOMO"
