Question

Consider the balanced equation given in the background. if you don't add sulfuric acid in your procedure, you will produce very little product during the same amount of lab time. what is the most likely role of the sulfuric acid that you added in the procedure?

Answer 1

- Because if you don't add sulfuric acid in your procedure, you will produce very little product during the same amount of lab time.
- So the role of sulfuric acid in the added process will be a Catalyst
-This is an acid catalyzed reaction and sulfuric acid provides H⁺ as catalyst.
