Question

Decomposition of H2O2 is a first order reaction. A solution of H2O2 labelled as 20 volumes was left open. Due to this, some H2O2 decomposed. To determine the new volume strength after 6 hours, 10 mL of this solution was diluted to 100 mL. 10 mL of this diluted solution was titrated against 25 mL of 0.025 M KMnO4 solution under acidic conditions. Calculate the rate constant for decomposition of H2O2.

Solution

The correct option is A k=0.022hr1
2H2O22H2O+O2
ml. eq of H2O2 in 10 ml diluted
=M1eq.ofKMnO4titrated=25×.025×5=3.125
ml. eq in 100 ml solu. = 31.25
but 22400 ml O2=68gmH2O2

1ml=6822400

20ml=68×2022400in1mlH2O2

=68×20×1022400in10mlH2O2

No. of Meq. in 10 ml of 20%kg ml H2O2

Initially=68×20×10×100017×22400=35.71

k=2.3036log(35.7131.25)
k=0.022hr1
