In autocatalytic reactions ?
Correct answer: C. One of the products acts as a catalyst
- A. One of the reactants acts as a catalyst
- B. Catalysts have very high selectivity
- C. One of the products acts as a catalyst
- D. No catalyst is used
Explanation
In an autocatalytic reaction, a product formed by the reaction accelerates the same reaction, creating self-catalysis. A reactant acting as a catalyst would describe a different catalytic situation, not autocatalysis.
