Catalysts can be classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Platinum is used to catalyze the hydrogenation of ethylene:
H2(g)+CH2CH2(g)=>CH3CH3(g) (Pt solid)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) catalyze the conversion of ozone () to oxygen gas ():
2O3(g)=>3O2(g) (CFC gas)
Magnesium catalyzes the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen:
2H2O2(aq)=>2H2O(l)+O2(g) (MG solid)

What type of catalysts are platinum, CFCs, and magnesium under these conditions? Which one: platinum, CFCs, magnesium is a homogeneous catalyst and which one is heterogeneous catalyst?
