Investigate a factor that influences the rate of decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (solution) H2O2 (aq) PLANNING Hypothesis The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Before I can look at factors that will affect the rate of decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), I have to consider that on its own hydrogen peroxide' will not decompose to produce oxygen and water as a result at room temperature. Hydrogen peroxide --> oxygen + water 2H2O2 (aq) O2 (g) 2H2O2 (l) This equation shows the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. From doing my experiment I will be testing to see if either oxygen or water was present at the end. This will help me see if I concocted the experiment correctly. In order to speed up the reaction so that it is fast enough for me to be able to measure the rate of decomposition at room temperature in a...
