HELP! Mechanism for formation of Br2 from H2O2 and HBR
What is a possible mechanism (that is NOT a radical mechanism) for the formation of Br2 from H2O2 and HBr?

Re: HELP! Mechanism for formation of Br2 from H2O2 and HBR
Itis a redox reaction
2 Br- => Br2 + 2 e-
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2 e- => 2 H2O
2 Br- => Br2 + 2 e-
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2 e- => 2 H2O
