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.
