Question

The oxidation of bromide ions is thought to occur by the following mechanism:

H+ + H2O2 ↔ H2O+–OH (rapid equilibrium)

H2O+–OH + Br– → HOBr + H2O (slow)

HOBr + H+ + Br– → Br2 + H2O (fast)

Which of the following statements is correct?

 

A) The overall reaction equation is 2H+ + H2O2 + 2Br– → Br2 + H2O

B) Rate = k[H2O2][H+][Br–]

C) H+ is a catalyst.

D) H2O is a reaction intermediate.
