Question

The catalytic breakdown of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) in a diluted aqueous mixture is routinely monitored analytically by titrating identical volume aliquots thoroughly against a standardized $KMnO_4$ solution. If the unadjusted experimental volume of $KMnO_4$ consumed records as $V_0$ at the start and $V_t$ at any elapsed time $t$, the kinetic integrated rate equation properly formulates to:

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Unlike ester hydrolysis, decomposition directly consumes the reactant titrated. The volume of applied strictly correlates to the raw undecomposed remaining. Therefore, is directly proportional to initial concentration , and is directly proportional to the residual . Substituting these directly, becomes precisely .
