6PRACTICE PROBLEM
A chemist is trying to observe the decomposition of H2O2 into H2 and O2. One reaction set-up involved 2.00 g H2O2 in a 500-mL vessel and another involved 2.00 g H2O2 in a 1.0-L vessel. Both set-ups were maintained at 160°C. Explain why the second set-up would have a slower reaction.
