👉 The term "carbonylating" refers to a chemical reaction in which an organic compound is reduced or oxidized by another substance. In this context, it involves the addition of carbon atoms to form a different type of molecule, typically resulting in a more stable and reactive form. For example, when hydrogen sulfide (H2S) reacts with water (H2O), the reaction produces sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This reaction is known as carbonylating because
