Question

The reaction 2H₂O₂ $\to$ 2H₂O + O₂ has the following mechanism: H₂O₂ + I^- $\to$H₂O + IO^- H₂O₂ + IO^- $\to$ H₂O + O₂ + I^- The catalyst in the reaction is:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The catalyst is the species that appears in the initial steps of the mechanism and is regenerated in the final step, which is I^- in this case.
