Study carefully the reaction represented by the equation below. 2H2O 2(l) → O 2(g) + 2H2O(l). Which of the following will not reaction increase the reaction rate?

A.

Heating the hydrogen peroxide

B.

Adding a pinch of MnO2 to the reactant

C.

increasing the concentration of the H2O2

D.

Adding water to the reactant

E.

Exposing the reactant to sunlight

Correct answer is D

Reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in moderate temperatures without the presence of a catalyst.

It can be sped up by increasing the temperature, which triggers the reaction of thermal decomposition.
