Which of the following processes does not occur at the interface of phases?

ACrystallisation
BHeterogeneous catalysis
CHomogeneous catalysis
Correct Answer
DCorrosion

Solution

When the reactants, products and the catalyst are in the same phase (i.e., liquid or gas), the process is said to be homogeneous catalysis. In Heterogeneous catalysis, the reactants, products, and catalyst are in different phase. It is a process occurring at the interface. Corrosion and crystallization are the processes which occur at the interface of phases. Hence, option C is the right answer.
