Chapter 22, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound having greatest rate of hydrolysis at pH=3.5 has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.

Acid Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the donation of a proton. There are two types of catalysis:

  • Specific-acid catalysis: Proton is completely transferred before the slow step to the reactant in a reaction
  • General-acid catalysis: Proton is completely transferred during the slow step to the reactant in a reaction
