[Hint : Heterogeneous catalyst, activity and selectivity of catalysts. Example, Hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons in presence of Raney Ni or any other
example.]
Artificial sweetening agents: These are the substances which are non-nutritive in nature and used as substitutes for sugar in foods and beverages.
Examples:
