Question

2 H2O2(aq) → 2 H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔH° = −196 kJ/mol_rxn

The decomposition of H2O2(aq) is represented by the equation above. A student monitored the decomposition of a 1.0 L sample of H2O2(aq) at a constant temperature of 300. K and recorded the concentration of H2O2 as a function of time. The results are given in the table below.
