Gilbert N. Lewis, but both theories are commonly used. He became known as an authority on In chemistry and biology, catalysis (in Greek meaning to annul) is the acceleration of the rate of a chemical reaction by means of a substance, called a catalyst, that is itself unchanged chemically by the overall reaction. A common misunderstanding is that catalysis makes the reaction happen, and that the...
catalysis by An acid (often represented by the generic formula AH) is typically a water-soluble, sour-tasting chemical compound. In common usage an acid is a species that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH of less than 7. In general scientific usage an acid is a molecule...
acids and The common (Arrhenius) definition of a base is a chemical compound that either donates hydroxide ions or absorbs hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
