**Chemical Reaction Mechanism Analysis****Reaction:**\[ 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) \longrightarrow 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) \]**Proposed Mechanism in the presence of \(\text{I}^-(aq)\):****Step 1 (Slow):**\[ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) + \text{I}^-(aq) \longrightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{OI}^-(aq) \]**Step 2 (Fast):**\[ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) + \text{OI}^-(aq) \longrightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) + \text{I}^-(aq) \]**Question:**Which of the following species is a catalyst?**Options:**- A. \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)- B. This mechanism has no catalysts.- C. \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)- D. \(\text{I}^-\)- E. \(\text{OI}^-\)**Explanation:**In this chemical mechanism, the catalyst is the species that is present at the beginning and is regenerated at the end of the reaction. To determine the catalyst:- \(\text{I}^-\) appears in the initial step and is regenerated in the final step.- \(\text{OI}^-\) is produced in the first step and consumed in the second step, so it is not a catalyst. Therefore, the correct answer is:- **D. \(\text{I}^-\)**Catalysts are essential in chemical reactions as they increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the overall process. This particular example illustrates the role of \(\text{I}^-\) as a catalyst in the decomposition of \(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\).

Catalysts are those substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction by decreasing the…
