A reaction which is catalysed by an acid is also catalysed by any substance, which has a tendency to _________________?
Correct answer: A. Lose a proton
- A. Lose a proton
- B. Gain a proton
- C. Lose an electron
- D. None of these
Explanation
Acid catalysis involves proton donation, so the catalytic species must have a tendency to lose a proton. A substance that gains a proton behaves as a base, which is the opposite tendency.
