The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H202(aq)) is proposed to follow a reaction mechanism of: Step 1: H202(aq) + Br (aq) - H20() + BrOT(aq) Step 2: BrO (aq) + H20 2(aq) - H20() + O2(g) + Br (aq) What is the catalyst, and what is the effect of having a catalyst present? O a. Br is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a pathway with a lower activation energy than without Br". BrO is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a pathway with a higher activation energy than without BrO". b. C. Br is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a pathway with higher activations energy than without Br". O d. BrO is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a pathway with a lower activation energy than without BrO".
