What is the order of the reaction? Write the rate equation for the decomposition.
Calculate the rate constant and the half-life for the reaction at 25 C
2. Hydrogen peroxide is sold commercially as a 30.0 % solution. If the solution is
kept at room temp. (25 C), how long will it take for the solution to become 10.0
% H;O:?
3. It has been determined that at 40 C, the rate constant for the reaction is 1.93 X
10 /min. Calculate the activation energy for the decomposition of H:O2
4. Manufacturers recommend that solutions of H:O: be kept in a refrigerator at 4 C.
