Hey. I had my exam a few days ago and i'm worried about making silly mistakes and losing marks unnecessarily. We were asked to state one condition for the hydration reaction between steam and ethene. I put phosphoric(v) acid. I didn't put phosphoric(v) acid "as catalyst". Will i score the mark? it was only one mark. Anyone help?
