At 40 C H2O2(aq) will decompose according to the followingreaction:
2H2O2 (aq) -----> 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
The following data were collected for the concentration ofH2O2 at various times:
Time (s) H2O2 (mol/L)
0 1.000
2.16 x 104 0.500
4.32 x 104 0.250
a) calculate the average rate of decomposition of H2O2 between0 and 2.16 x 104 s. Use this rate to calculate the averagerate of production of O2 (g) over the same time period.
b) what are these rates for the time period 2.16 x 104 s to4.32 x 104 s ?
