Examples of heterogeneous solution in the following topics:

  • Homogeneous versus Heterogeneous Solution Equilibria

    • The equilibrium constants for homogeneous and heterogeneous solutions need to be calculated differently.
    • The former are called homogenous reactions, and the later are called heterogeneous reactions.
    • Reactions between solutes in liquid solutions belong to one type of homogeneous equilibria.
    • A heterogeneous equilibrium is a system in which reactants and products are found in two or more phases.
    • The phases may be any combination of solid, liquid, or gas phases, and solutions.
  • Substances and Mixtures

    • Mixtures take the form of alloys, solutions, suspensions, and colloids.
    • Often separating the components of a homogeneous mixture is more challenging than separating the components of a heterogeneous mixture.
    • Distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures is a matter of the scale of sampling.
    • On a small enough scale, any mixture can be said to be heterogeneous, because a sample could be as small as a single molecule.
    • Mixtures are described as heterogeneous or homogeneous.
  • Homogeneous Catalysis

    • Catalysts can be classified into two types: homogeneous and heterogeneous.
    • Homogeneous catalysts are those which exist in the same phase (gas or liquid) as the reactants, while heterogeneous catalysts are not in the same phase as the reactants.
    • Typically, heterogeneous catalysis involves the use of solid catalysts placed in a liquid reaction mixture.
    • Most often, homogeneous catalysis involves the introduction of an aqueous phase catalyst into an aqueous solution of reactants.
    • However, unlike with heterogeneous catalysis, the homogeneous catalyst is often irrecoverable after the reaction has run to completion.
  • Heterogeneous Catalysis

    • Heterogeneous catalysis is a type of catalysis in which the catalyst occupies a different phase than the reaction mixture.
    • Catalysts can be divided into two types, homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on the reaction phase that they occupy.
    • Generally, heterogeneous catalysts are solid compounds that are added to liquid or gas reaction mixtures.
    • Heterogeneous catalysis has a number of benefits.
    • However, one limitation of heterogeneous catalysis has to do with the available surface area of the catalyst.
  • Alloys

    • An alloy is a mixture or metallic solid solution composed of two or more elements.
    • An alloy is a mixture or metallic-solid solution composed of two or more elements.
    • Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase microstructure.
    • Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase microstructure.
    • Alloys can be further classified as homogeneous (consisting of a single phase), heterogeneous (consisting of two or more phases), or intermetallic (where there is no distinct boundary between phases).
  • Heterogeneity

    • Heterogeneity, also known as variability, describes the uniqueness of service offerings.
    • The term heterogeneity describes the uniqueness of service offerings (also known as variability).
    • Many services regarded as heterogeneous are typically modified for each consumer or situation.
    • Given that services are heterogeneous, it is essential that each and every customer receive excellent service.
    • Heterogeneity of service quality does not imply that no two customers can receive great service, it just means that no two transactions can be repeated identically.
  • Binary Hydrides

    • Hydride complexes are catalysts and catalytic intermediates in a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic cycles.
    • Free hydride anions exist only under extreme conditions and are not invoked for homogeneous solutions.
    • Ionic hydrides are often used as heterogeneous bases and reducing reagents in organic synthesis.
  • Heterogeneous and Multiple Equilibria

    • Heterogeneous equilibria involve reactions with compounds in different phases; multiple equilibria involve reactions with two or more steps.
    • In heterogeneous equilibria, compounds in different phases react.
  • Hydrogenation

    • Catalysts can be divided into two categories: homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts.
    • Often, heterogeneous catalysts are metal-based and are attached to supports based on carbon or oxide.
    • For heterogenous catalysts, the Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism explains how hydrogenation occurs.
    • Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation is very important in industrial processes.
    • The hydrogenation of ethylene (C2H4) on a solid support is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.
  • Model Assumptions

    • As a result, some kind of regularization must typically be used to prevent unreasonable solutions coming out of the estimation process.
    • In order to determine for heterogeneous error variance, or when a pattern of residuals violates model assumptions of homoscedasticity (error is equally variable around the 'best-fitting line' for all points of $x$), it is prudent to look for a "fanning effect" between residual error and predicted values.
