(a)
Interpretation:
A mechanism corresponding to the acid-catalyzed reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Acid-catalyzed reactions are the
(b)
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the statement that a single drop of sulfuric acid dramatically increases the reaction rate is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Catalysts are basically the substances that increase the
Acid-catalyzed reactions are the chemical reactions that are catalyzed by an acid. An acid is a proton donor and is known as Bronsted-Lowry acid. The reactions that are typically catalyzed by proton transfer are esterification and aldol reactions.
