D Question 4 The decomposition of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂: is believed to occur in two steps: 2H₂O₂(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + O₂(g) is believed to occur in two steps: H₂O, +1H₂O + 10 (slow) (elementary reaction) H₂O₂ + 10 H₂O + O₂ +1 (fast) (elementary reaction) Note: when answering questions requiring an equation to written: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) →→→ 2H₂O(g) (overall reaction) rate = K[A] " Becomes becomes 2H2+02 2H2O (underscore was done twice and there was no spacing between characters) Rate=k[A]mn 10 pts If by experimentation the rate law was determined to be rate = k [H₂O₂]: answer the following questions: 1. What is the overall equation representing this decomposition? 2. What is the rate law predicted by this mechanism (If a substance has a sign do not superscript)?
3. Is the predicted mechanism plausible (Yes or No)? 4. What is the intermediate (if there is none type none)? 5. What is the catalyst (if there is none type none)?
