Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOM : Homogeneous catalysis

---

Homogeneous catalysis is a chemistry term which describes catalysis where the catalyst is in the same phase (ie. solid, liquid and gas) as the reactants. hydrolysis of esters by acid catalysis is an example of this - all reactants and catalyst are dissolved in water:

CH₃CO₂CH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CH₃CO₂H(aq) + CH₃OH(aq) - with H⁺ catalyst.
