Question

In ___________, a reaction product is itself a catalyst for that reaction leading to positive feedback.

• (A) Autocatalysis
• (B) Catalysis
• (C) Pressure jump
• (D) Fast reactions

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Explanation:
In autocatalysis, a reaction product is itself a catalyst for that reaction leading to positive feedback.A single chemical reaction is said to have undergone autocatalysis, or be autocatalytic, if one of the reaction products is also a reactant and therefore a catalyst in the same or a coupled reaction. The reaction is called an autocatalytic reaction. A catalyst is a substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction but remains chemically unchanged afterwards.Hence, the correct option is (A).
