• Determine % H2O2 decomposed in first 500 s in a first order decomposition reaction of H2O2? k=7.30x10-4 s-1

Given rate constant of the first-order reaction is:

K=7.30x10^-4 s-1

Time t=500s

Determine % H2O2 decomposed in first 500 s in a first-order decomposition reaction of H2O2?

Explanation:

The expression for the rate constant of the first-order reaction is:

where,

k=rate constant

t=time period

ao=initial amount of the reactant

a-x=amount of a remained after time t.

Substitute the given values in the above formula to get ao/a-x value.

% of H2O2 decomposed is:
