      There are so many acids that many many reactions actually have them. This morning I am doing two new reactions using acid as a catalyst. This means the acid helps speed up the reactions.

      We do loads of work with acids – we have a full cupboard just for them! At at some point most organic reactions will form some kind of acid – so yes, new experiments involving acids are done all the time!
