Reaction Rate Review I
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen according to the following reaction:
H:O: >
H:0
Its rate of decomposition is measured by titrating samples of the solution with potassium
permanganate at certain intervals.
1. Initial rate determinations at 25 C for the decomposition give the following data
[H;O:]
0.200
0.300
0.500
Initial rate (mol/L min)
1.03 X 104
1.55 X 104
2.59 X
10
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.
How much longer will it take a 30.0 % solution to decompose to 10.0 % if the
solution is kept in a refrigerator?
The rate constant for the catalyzed decomposition of H;O; at 25 C is 2.95 X 10
/min. What is the half-life of the catalyzed reaction? What is the rate for the
catalyzed decomposition of 0.500 M H:02?
5.
6. Hydrogen peroxide in basic solution oxidizes iodide ions to iodine. The proposed
mechanism for this reaction is
H;O2 - I > HOI
+ OH

HOI
+ 1+ I + OH
(fast)
Write the overall redox reaction. Write a rate law consistent with this proposed
mechanism.
