1) Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, in aqueous solution at room temperature decomposes slowly and irreversibly to form water, H2O, and oxygen, O2, according to the following equation.
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔH < 0

 

 

Propose a method to determine how quickly a solution of H2O2 decomposes when stored at a particular temperature.
