Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution.
H+ + H2O2 
H2O+-OH (rapid equilibrium)
H2O+-OH + Br- HOBr + H2O (slow)
HOBr + H+ + Br- Br2 + H2O (fast)
What is the overall reaction equation for this process?
A) 2H2O+-OH + 2Br- H2O2 + Br2 + 2H2O
B) 2H+ + 2Br- + H2O2 Br2 + 2H2O
C) 2H+ + H2O2 + Br- + HOBr H2O+-OH + Br2 + H2O
D) H2O+-OH + Br- + H+ Br2 + H2O
E) None of these choices is correct.
