HC only speeds up the reaction and doesnt affect the overall outcome right?

Do you mean "HCl",for AP production?.The acid allows the reaction to begin,so yes, it does affect the outcome (unless you don't mind waiting a long time!).

MacCleod had it right... HCl. A lower case L. IronWarlock... The Hydrochloric acid is just a catalyst, meaning that it speeds up the reaction between the two reactants(H2O2+Acetone). The reaction between H2O2 and Acetone starts as soon as they touch each other, but the reaction would take forever, therefore we add the catalyst(HCl) so it only takes a few hours/days.
