Catalysis (Section)
In solution, chemical species as simple as H+ and OH- can serve as catalysts for reactions. Imagine you could measure the [H+] of a solution containing an acid-catalyzed reaction as it occurs. Assume the reactants and products themselves are neither acids nor bases. Sketch the [H+] 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.
Olin- CHEM 240 Lecture Introductory Lecture- 1/20/16 Chemistry is the study of matter and the transformations of matter from one form to another; this includes composition, structure, properties, and state changes of matter. Atoms are the smallest building blocks of matter. The Scientific Method is a process which includes: making observations, stating a hypothesis, and performing experiments to test the hypothesis. A Hypothesis is a tentative explanation of observations that requires further experiment. Qualitative Data- data based on the qualities of what is being observed. Quantitative Data- data based on the numerical information gathered from what is being
