The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is a first-order reaction: H2O2(aq) H2O(l) + 1 / 2 O2(g)

Question:

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is a first-order reaction:

H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + 1 / 2 O2(g)

The half-life of the reaction is 17.0 minutes.

a. What is the rate constant of the reaction?

b. If you had a bottle of H2O2, how long would it take for 86.0% to decompose?

c. If you started the reaction with [H2O2] = 0.100 M, what would be the hydrogen peroxide concentration after 15.0 minutes?
