Identify any intermediates or catalysts in the following two-step reaction: H 2 O 2 + 2Br − + 2H + → 2H 2 O + Br 2 H 2 O 2 + Br 2 → 2H + + O 2 + 2Br −

Br − and H + are regenerated in the reaction, indicating they act as catalysts. Br 2 is produced in the first step and consumed in the second, indicating it is an intermediate.
