Question

Hydrogen peroxide has several advantages and disadvantages as a potential chemical
for pharmaceutical industry and cosmetic industry.

2 H2O2 (g) ⇌  2H2O (g) + O2 (g)

K eq = 7.3 X 10 -5

If 0.5mol of H2O2 (g) was placed in a 2.0L flask, what is the equilibrium concentration of
water vapour, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide at 800oC? If you make any assumption,
you need to check it for validity.
