A student tests a powdered substance, \(\text{Z}\), that increases the rate at which residual hydrogen peroxide decomposes in treated water.

\[ 2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}+\text{O}_2\text{(g)} \]

The student wants to determine whether \(\text{Z}\) acts as a catalyst rather than as a reactant that is consumed. Which additional experimental result would provide the strongest evidence that \(\text{Z}\) is a catalyst?
