Options
- A1
- B0
- C3
- D2
Correct answer
D. 2
Step-by-step solution
General Rate Law for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide: The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is often described by the rate law: Rate =k [ H ₂ O ₂ ]^n Where: - k is the rate constant, - n is the order of the reaction with respect to H ₂ O ₂ . Common Information: The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is typically a second-order reaction with respect to H ₂ O ₂ , meaning the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
