*** Can someone explain this question with the corresponding chemical reaction? The synthesis reaction for ACETAMINOPHEN is provided below. If it's right I will rate it right away!
Phosphoric acid catalyst was used in ASPIRIN synthesis experiment that you performed in lab this semester. Can phosphoric acid catalyst be used in ACETAMINOPHEN synthesis? Why or why not? Chemical reaction(s) are needed to get full credit.

YES, Phosphoric acid catalyst be used in acetaminophen synthesis because phosphoric acid serves as a catalyst to help speed up a reaction and donate H+ protons to other atoms around it,making it a protonation;therefore as a catalyst,it transfers proton.
