question 36

Multiple Choice

The elementary steps for a catalyzed reaction are shown below.Identify the catalyst.Identify the reactive intermediate.
H₂O₂(aq) + I−(aq) → H₂O(l) + IO−(aq)
IO−(aq) + H₂O₂(aq) → H₂O(l) + O₂(g) + I−(aq)

• A) The catalyst is H₂O(l);the reactive intermediate is I−(aq).
• B) The catalyst is IO−(aq);the reactive intermediate is I−(aq).
• C) The catalyst is I−(aq);the reactive intermediate is H₂O₂(aq).
• D) The catalyst is I−(aq);the reactive intermediate is IO−(aq).
• E) The catalyst is H₂O₂(aq);the reactive intermediate is I−(aq).
