The decomposition of H2O2 is first order and this is confirmed in the subsequent calculatons.

H2O2---> H2O+1/2O2

1 mole of oxygen is formed from 2 moles of H2O2 is decompsed. So moles of O2 will have to be multiplied with 2 to get moels of H2O2 consumed. So moles of H2O2 available = mole of H2O2 initially present- mole of H2O2 consuemed. Percentage conversion XA= 1-moles of H2O2 at any time/moles of H2O2 at zero time. The calculations are tabulated and a plot of -ln(1-XA) vs t is drawn whose slope gives the rate constant.

NEED ASSISTANCE TO CHECK MY WORK The goal for Experiment 1: Ideal Gas Law - Finding Percent H2O2 with Yeast is to find the percentage of hydrogen peroxide in the solution. To determine percentage, you need to first determine how many moles of hydrogen peroxide are present. Rearrange PV=nRT to solve for n, then plug in your known values for P, V, R, and T. Show your rearrangement of the ideal gas law equation from Experiment 1 to solve for...

Sumazrize The Experiment? Into steps Introduction The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution proceeds very slowly. A bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide sitting on a grocery store shelf is stable for a long period of time. The decomposition takes place according to the reaction below. 2 H2O2(aq) → 2 H2O + O2(g) A number of catalysts can be used to speed up this reaction, including potassium iodide, manganese (IV) oxide, and catalase (an enzyme). If you conduct the catalyzed...
