Hydrogen peroxide spontaneously decays according to the following reaction: 2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) If the initial rate of reaction was 3.47 × 10^-5 M day^-1 when [H2O2]0 = 0.010 M and 1.73 × 10^-5 M day^-1 when [H2O2]0 = 0.0050 M: a. What is the overall order of the reaction? b. What is the rate constant, k, for the decay of H2O2 from your previous result? c. You happen to read somewhere that H2O2 is only effective if [H2O2] ≥ 0.29 M. If at the time of manufacture the initial concentration of H2O2 is 0.88 M, for how many days is it effective?
Hydrogen peroxide, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{aq}),$ decomposes to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)$ and $\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g})$ in a reaction that is first order in $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ and has a rate constant $k=1.06 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{min}^{-1}$ (a) How long will it take for $15 \%$ of a sample of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ to decompose? (b) How long will it take for $85 \%$ of the sample to decompose?
