Solution

The correct options are
A Formation of SO3 in the chamber process.
C Hydrolysis of an ester in the presence of acid.
D Decomposition of KClO3 in the presence of MnO2.
Catalysts can be divided into two main types: heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis.
In a heterogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants.
In a homogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants.
Formation of SO3 in the contact process is heterogeneous catalysis where the reactants and catalyst are in different phase (platinum catalyst).
Remaining all are homogenous catalysis.
