Answer:

Product

Step-by-step explanation:

In representing chemical reactions with equations, the following are some general rules

  • reactants are written on the left
  • products are written on the right
  • catalysts are written on the arrow
  • the states of each molecules involved are written as subscripts in brackets. Where "aq" stands for aqueous, "l" stands for liquid, "g" stands for gas" and "s" stands for solid

From the above points, it can be deduced that hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is the reactant but this reaction also suggests that H₂O₂ is been broken down (most likely thermally) since it is the only reactant and we have two products. O₂ gas and H₂O are the products in this reaction.
