Decomposition of H2O2 follows a first order reaction. In fifty minutes the concentration of H2O2 decreases from 0.5 to 0.125 M in one such decomposition. When the concentration of H2O2 reaches 0.05 M, the rate of formation of O2, will be:

2H2O2→2H2O+O2
In 50 minutes, the concentration is reduced to one fourth (∵0.50.125=4)
Hence 2 half life periods correxponds to 50 minutes. t1/2=25 min
The rate constant k=0.693t1/2=0.69325
Rate of decomposition of H2O2=k[H2O2]=0.69325×0.05=1.39×10−3mol/min
Rate of formation of oxygen is one half the rate of decomposition of H2O2.
It is 12×1.39×10−3=6.93×10−4mol/min
