Aim: To investigate one factor that will affect the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide * The word equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is: Hydrogen peroxide › oxygen + water The chemical equation is: 2H O › O + 2 H O * The rate of reaction is the rate at which the reactants react or products are being formed in relation to the time factor. The factors affecting the rate of reaction are as follows: 1) Temperature 2) Surface area 3) Concentration if the reactants are liquid or pressure if the reactants are gases. 4) Amount of catalyst 5) Type of catalyst * The chosen factor: Concentration * When I increase the concentration of the reactant ( in this case hydrogen Peroxide) the rate of reaction will increase (in this case the rate of production oxygen). The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration. If I double the concentration, I expect that the rate...
