Multiple Choice

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

A) 2H₂O⁺-OH + 2Br^- $\to$ H₂O₂ + Br₂ + 2H₂O
B) 2H⁺ + 2Br^- + H₂O₂ $\to$ Br₂ + 2H₂O
C) 2H⁺ + H₂O₂ + Br^- + HOBr $\to$ H₂O⁺-OH + Br₂ + H₂O
D) H₂O⁺-OH + Br^- + H⁺ $\to$ Br₂ + H₂O
E) None of these choices is correct.
