The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...

FROM a recent discussion with J. H. Baxendale and P. George, we understand that they have from kinetic studies proposed a reaction scheme for the mechanism of the evolution of oxygen from hydrogen ...

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.

WHEN catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide, there is an initial rapid evolution of oxygen which lasts for about two minutes, depending on the peroxide concentration. After this, oxygen is given off ...

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 ...

In bleaches and disinfectants, this strong oxidizer rips apart molecules to whiten or clean. Here it's sealed in a glass capsule that cracks open when you bend the plastic stick. Once it's unleashed, ...

Abstract Propylene oxide (PO) is a key industrial chemical, often produced by epoxidizing propylene with H2O2 over titanium silicalite-1. However ...

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 ...
