1.	From the following data , show that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is a reaction of the first order : {:(t(min),0,10,20),(V(ml),46.1,29.8,19.3):} where t is the time in minutes and V is the volume of standard KMnO_4 solution required for titrating the same volume of the reaction mixture.
Answer» Solution :Volume of `KMnO_4` , solution used `prop ` AMOUNT of `H_2O_2` present . Hence if the given reaction is of the first ORDER , it must obey the equation. `k=(2.303)/tlog.(a)/((a-x))` `k = (2.303)/tlog.V_o/V_t` In this case, `V_o=46.1` ml The value of k at each INSTNAT can be calculated as follows : THUS, the value of k comes out to be nearly constant . Hence it is a reaction of the first order.
