Question

A solution of $\ce{H2O2}$ when titrated against $\ce{KMnO4}$ solution at different intervals of time gave the following results:

Time $($minutes$)$	$0$	$10$	$20$
Volume of $\ce{KMnO4}\ (mL)$	$23.8$	$14.7$	$9.1$

Show that decomposition of $\ce{H2O2}$ is first order reaction.

Answer

$\text{k}=\frac{2.303}{14.7}\log\frac{2.303}{10}=\frac{2.303}{10}\times0.2093=0.048\min^{-1}$
$\text{k}=\frac{2.303}{20}\log\frac{2.303}{9.1}=\frac{2.303}{20}\times0.4176=0.048\min^{-1}$

Since the value of $k$ comes out to be constant in both the cases, therefore the reaction is of first order.
