THAT the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase requires the presence of molecular oxygen was demonstrated by a number of manometric experiments previously described 1.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

The reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide is demonstrated in a tall cylinder. Saturated potassium iodide is added to a mixture of soap, glycerin, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen and ...

Catalysis of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is demonstrated in a foil-covered florence flask or fancy bottle. A packet of manganese dioxide catalyst is suspended by a thread inside the neck of ...

These experiments were carried out with rather high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an ...

Hydrogen peroxide – the same stuff you can pick up from a drug store or beauty supply store – is one of those very interesting chemicals that belongs on every maker’s cabinet. At concentrati ...

Some chemical reactions change temperature, change color, produce a gas, or make a solid from two liquids. Try this reaction and see what it does! Pour 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide into a cup.

Having the right balance of these factors makes for a successful compost pile, and it just so happens, that when hydrogen ...
