One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Hydrogen peroxide (H20i) decomposes into water and oxygen: H,O2(aq) — H,O(f) + ^O2(g) Ordinarily this reaction proceeds rather slowly, hut in the presence of some iodide ions (I-), the decomposition is much faster. Ihe decomposition in the presence of iodide was studied at 20°C, and the data were plotted in various ways. Use the graphs below to answer the questions that follow. What is the order of reaction for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide? Find the numerical value of the rate constant at 20°C, including the correct units. Obtain an estimate of the initial rate of reaction in the experiment that produced the graphs (i.e., the rate at t = 0 in the graphs).
