**Educational Content on Catalysts**

**Introduction to Catalysts**

Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a reaction but can be recovered unchanged at the end of the reaction. Catalysts can be classified as either homogeneous (same state as reactants) or heterogeneous (different state than reactants).

---

**Part A: Understanding Catalysts in Reactions**

1. **Hydrogenation of Ethylene with Platinum:**  
   - Reaction: \( \text{H}_2(g) + \text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2(g) \xrightarrow{\text{Pt(s)}} \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_3(g) \)

2. **Conversion of Ozone with Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs):**  
   - Reaction: \( \text{2O}_3(g) \xrightarrow{\text{CFC(g)}} \text{3O}_2(g) \)

3. **Disproportionation of Hydrogen Peroxide with Magnesium:**  
   - Reaction: \( \text{2H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) \xrightarrow{\text{Mg(s)}} \text{2H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) \)

**Classification Task:**

Determine whether platinum, CFCs, and magnesium act as homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts under these conditions. 

**Interactive Exercise:**
- Drag the items "platinum," "CFCs," and "magnesium" into the correct bins:
  - **Homogeneous catalysts**
  - **Heterogeneous catalysts**

**Diagram Explanation:**
The right side of the interface shows a draggable exercise where students place items into "Homogeneous catalysts" or "Heterogeneous catalysts" bins based on their understanding of the reaction states.

**Controls:**
- **Reset:** Clears selections.
- **Help:** Provides assistance with the exercise.

**Submission Button:** Finalizes the selection once items are placed in the correct bins.

This content is suitable for high school or introductory college-level chemistry students studying reaction mechanisms and the role of catalysts.
