Answer:
Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without
Explanation:
Let us consider the equation below:
Step 1:
H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)
Step 2:
BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)
From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.
This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.
Answer:
CH3OH + 02 ----> C02 + H20
balanced equation -
CH3OH + 3/202 ----> C02 + 2H20
Use exactly the same process as the one used on another question of yours I answered.
The charge of a proton is positive.
