If 10.0 grams of liquid hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form liquid water and oxygen gas, how many liters of oxygen gas will there be at STP conditions?

the equation i got is: 2H2O2 (l) >> 2H2O (l) O2 (g)

then i just used molar ratio, since the ratio is 2:1, divided the 10 by 2 and got an answer of 5L...is the answer correct? Are my phases of matter correct? Also, is this a decomposition reaction?

  1. Moles H2O2 = 10.0 g /34.0148 g/mol =0.294

    moles O2 = 0.294/2 =0.147

    0.147 x 22.4 =3.29 L
