First, let's break down the words so it will be easier to
remember. Equilibrium means that things are in a state of balance. Homo is a Greek
prefix that means same, and hetero is a Greek prefix that means different. A
homogeneous equilibrium is where everything in the reaction reaching a balance is in the
same phase. An example would be when everything in the reaction is in the gaseous
phase. A heterogeneous equilibrium is where the reaction is balanced but the agents of
that reaction are in different phases. An example would be a reaction between a gas and
a solid. See the links below for more details. The chemguide link also contains
equation examples in case you need them.
