Aqueous hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, decomposes slowly at 25 °C. 2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) The decomposition reaction takes place faster when a catalyst is added. A student adds a small amount of catalyst to 10cm³ of 1.0mol/dm³ H2O2(aq) and collects the gas formed. The volume of gas collected is 90 cm³. All measurements are at room temperature and pressure. What is the percentage yield of O2(g)?

A28.1%
B37.5%
C56.3%
D75.0%

✓ Correct answer

D: 75.0%
