QUESTION:

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.
