Question
3. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in dilute sodium hydroxide solution is :
2 H2O2(ag)
→ 2 H20(1) + O2(g)
The reaction is first order in H202, the rate constant for the consumption of H202 at 20°C is 1.8 x 10 5s-1,
and the initial concentration of H202 is 0.30 M.
a. What is the concentration of H2O2 after 4 hours?
b. How long will it take for the H202 concentration to drop to 0.12M?
c. How long will it take for 90% of the H202 to decompose?
