Question
A solution of $H_2O_2$ when titrated against $KMnO_4$ solution at different intervals of time gave the following results:
Time (minutes) $0$ $10$ $20$
Volume of $KMnO_4$ (mL) $23.8$ $14.7$ $9.1$
Show that decomposition of $H_2O_2$ is first order reaction.

Answer

  1. $\text{k}=\frac{2.303}{14.7}\log\frac{2.303}{10}=\frac{2.303}{10}\times0.2093=0.048\min^{-1}$
  2. $\text{k}=\frac{2.303}{20}\log\frac{2.303}{9.1}=\frac{2.303}{20}\times0.4176=0.048\min^{-1}$
Since the value of $k$ comes out to be constant in both the cases, therefore the reaction is of first order.
