Problem: The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was studied, and the following data were obtained at a particular temperature:Assuming thatRate = - Δ [H2O2] / Δtdetermine the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant. Calculate [H2O2] at 4000. s after the start of the reaction.
FREE Expert Solution
We need to plot the points according to the equations above and identify which is linear.
- Since plotting on a graph can be a bit unreliable when using only pen and paper we will use the stat function of the calculator.
- We can't really see the graph but we have to calculate for R2
- An R2 that is very close to 1 (about 0.99) should mean that the plot is linear.
Problem Details
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was studied, and the following data were obtained at a particular temperature:
Assuming that
Rate = - Δ [H2O2] / Δt
determine the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant. Calculate [H2O2] at 4000. s after the start of the reaction.
