give one example with balanced chemical equation of each of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical equilibrium systems.
dear student,
The term homogeneous equilibrium applies to reactions in which all reacting species are in the same phase. An example of homogeneous gas-phase equilibrium is the synthesis of hydrogen iodide, which reaches the equilibrium.
another example is where sulphur dioxide combines with oxygen to form sulphur trioxide.
2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3
A heterogeneous equilibrium reaction, in contrast, is a reaction where the products and reactants are in different phases. For example, one compound or molecule might be a solid, while another is a liquid, and another is a gas.
EXAMPLE: C(s) + O2(g) = 2CO(g)
