A reaction which is catalysed by a base is catalysed by all substances which have a tendency to_______________________?
Correct answer: D. Gain a proton
- A. Lose a proton
- B. None of these
- C. Gain an electron
- D. Gain a proton
Explanation
A Brønsted base accepts a proton, so base catalysis is associated with substances having a tendency to gain H+. Gaining an electron describes reduction rather than basicity.
