The gas phase decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at 400 °C H2O2(g)H20(g) + ½ O2(g) is second order in H2O2. In one experiment, when the initial concentration of H,O2 was 0.242 M, the concentration of H,O, dropped to 4.09×10 M after 23.5 seconds had passed. Based on these data, the rate constant for the reaction is M1s1.
