Chapter , Problem 78E(choose chapter or problem)
In solution, chemical species as simple as and can serve as catalysts for reactions. Imagine you could measure the of a solution containing an acid-catalyzed reaction as it occurs. Assume the reactants and products themselves are neither acids nor bases. Sketch the concentration profile you would measure as a function of time for the reaction, assuming t = 0 is when you add a drop of acid to the reaction.

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
It is stated that acts as a catalyst, with the purpose of decreasing the activation energy and so participating in the process.
