Sir,2H2O2 is a complex reaction
But looking at this reation, it is seem to be a elementary reaction and also its moleculartiy is equal to 2 theoretically.
decomposition of H2O2 takes place in the following two steps:
Decomposition of H2O2. |
||
Overall Reaction |
H2O2 → H2O + 1/2O2 |
|
Step 1: |
H2O2 → H2O + [O] |
Slow |
Step 2: |
[O] + [O] → O2 |
Fast |
The slowest step is rate-determining. Thus from step 1, reaction appears to be unimolecular.
