Scott Bissett 10B 15/2/03 Factors Affecting the Rate of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Aim: To see how the rate of the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide is affected by the concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide. Prediction: I know that Hydrogen Peroxide is unstable and gradually breaks down into water and oxygen over time. The equation for this reaction is 2H2O2* (aq) 2H2O (l) + O2 (g). I think that the higher the concentration, the faster the rate of reaction will be. I think this because the higher the concentration, the more atoms there are, then there are more chickens and therefore there are more collisions as a direct result of the concentration. This is based on the Collision theory, which states that if there are more atoms, there are more collisions, therefore it is more likely to reach the activation energy level required to have a reaction. This likelihood is improved by the fact...
