Ok. I've got a decomposition reaction of 1.4 M initial H2O2 that occurs so that after 3 minutes, 0.83 M is left. I need to figure out the rate of the reaction.

Thanks!

Are you given any other information?

Like, the order of the reaction, that would be helpful if you want to determine the rate law.

The problem here is that we can say there are multiple ways that it's decaying. It could look like this: |dw:1403145478852:dw| See, these are both possible rates it can decay while having the same concentration at the beginning and after 3 minutes.
