(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism of given reaction when it involves specific-acid catalysis and general-acid catalysis has to be drawn.

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
