The half life of the reaction shown below is found not to depend on the concentration of H₂O₂(aq) . 2 H₂O₂(aq) → 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g)
What is the order of this reaction?

Question

The half life of the reaction shown below is found not to depend on the concentration of H₂O₂(aq). 2 H₂O₂(aq)→ 2 H₂O(l)+ O₂(g) What is the order of this reaction?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The half-life of a first-order reaction is independent of initial concentration. Therefore, the fact that the half-life of this reaction is independent of the concentration of H₂O₂(aq) suggests that this reaction follows first-order kinetics.
