Description:

"0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol of O2."

This means that a certain amount of H2O2 (0.0400 mol) decomposed or was broken down into two components, 0.04 mol of H2O and 0.02 mol of O2. To examine the system, we need a balanced equation:

H2O2 - - - > H2O + 0.5O2

The final concentrations of the system indicates that the system is in equilibrium.
