Hapenkatalyys
Hapenkatalyys, also known as acid catalysis, is a chemical process where an acid is used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Acids donate protons (H+) to reactant molecules, which can stabilize transition states or activate functional groups, making them more susceptible to reaction. This protonation often lowers the activation energy of the reaction, leading to a faster rate without the acid being consumed in the overall process.
Hapenkatalyys is widely employed in various industrial applications. For example, it is crucial in the production
The effectiveness of hapenkatalyys depends on the strength of the acid used and the specific reaction conditions,
