Calculate the rate of decomposition of H2O2 at 25 °C when [H2O2] is exactly 10.0 mmol/L?

I'm really confused?

2H2O2⟶2H2O+O2

Experiment no. c(H2O2) rate
1 14.45 3.35×10−3
2 28.90 6.65×10−3
3 57.80 13.35×10−3

So from previous parts of the question, I found the order of reaction (1st), the rate equation for the reaction (r=k[A]), the rate constant (2.3×10−4 s−1, which is correct according to the answers), and now I need to find the rate of decomposition of H2O2 when [H2O2] is exactly 10.0 mmol L−1.

I thought it's just 2.3×10−4×10.0, which is 2.3×10−3, but the answers provided is double that (so 4.6×10−3), so I must have gotten the rate equation wrong?

if it's r=2k[A], then why did I get k right in the first place?

I think your calculation is correct, but the answer provided (4.6 × 10⁻³) is incorrect.

Look at the data given.
1. When [H₂O₂] = 14.45 mmol/L, Rate = 3.35 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s)
2. When [H₂O₂] = 28.90 mmol/L, Rate = 6.65 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s)
3. When [H₂O₂] = 57.80 mmol/L, Rate = 13.35 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s)

Obviously, the higher the [H₂O₂], the higher the reaction rate is.

When [H₂O₂] = 10.0 mmol/L < 14.45 mmol/L, It should be Rate < 3.35 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s).
Then, 4.6 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s) [< 3.35 × 10⁻³ mmol/(L s)] is impossible !
