Answer

Homogeneous equilibrium is a chemical equilibrium in which all the reactants and products are of the same phase. For instance, $CO(g) + Cl_{2}(g) <=> COCl_{2}(g)$ $H_{2}CO_{3}(aq) <=> H^{+}(aq) + HCO_{3}^{-}(aq)$ Heterogeneous equilibrium involves species that are of different phase. For instance, $H_{2}O(g) + C(s) <=> CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}(g)$ $2HgO(s) <=> 2Hg(l) + O_{2}(g)$
