Question

Certain chemical reactions prodceed by absorption of sound energy
for example: acetylene breaks up into carbon and hydrogenby
absorbing sound energy So here sound energy acts as a positive or a
negative catalyst ??

Dear student,

The positive catalyst are those which decrease the activation
energy and increase the rate of reaction and vice-versa for the
negative catalyst now in the given statement reaction taken place
in presence of sound energy so this energy acts as a positive
catalyst
