Curve X on the graph below shows the volume of oxygen formed during the catalytic decomposition of a 1.0 mol dm$^{-3}$ solution of hydrogen peroxide. Which change would produce the curve Y?
Show Hint
Increasing the concentration of reactants generally increases the rate of reaction, which can be observed as a steeper curve in the graph.
Adding some 0.1 mol dm$^{-3}$ hydrogen peroxide solution
Using a different catalyst
Lowering the temperature
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option isB
Solution and Explanation
Adding more hydrogen peroxide (0.1 mol dm$^{-3}$) would increase the concentration of the reactant, leading to a faster rate of reaction, which would result in a higher volume of oxygen produced over time, as shown by curve Y.
