    This experiment shows the catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) decomposes into water and oxygen gas, which is in the form of foam, but normally the reaction is too slow to be easily perceived or measured: [2]

  3. High-test peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-test_peroxide

    High-test peroxide (HTP) is a highly concentrated (85 to 98%) solution of hydrogen peroxide, with the remainder consisting predominantly of water. In contact with a catalyst, it decomposes into a high-temperature mixture of steam and oxygen, with no remaining liquid water.

  4. Catalase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalase

    Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful byproduct of many normal metabolic processes; to prevent damage to cells and tissues, it must be quickly converted into other, less dangerous substances. To this end, catalase is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less-reactive gaseous oxygen and water ...

    Simply combine one part dishwashing liquid and two parts hydrogen peroxide in a bottle and mix. Spray a good amount on the stained area, then let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with ...

  6. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  7. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    An experiment describing catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, with MnO 2 as catalyst. A concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution can be easily decomposed to water and oxygen. A concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution can be easily decomposed to water and oxygen.

  8. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    The solution may be mixed before application or directly applied to the material, applying the sulfuric acid first, followed by the peroxide. Due to the self-decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, piranha solution should always be used freshly prepared (extemporaneous preparation).

  9. Haber–Weiss reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber–Weiss_reaction

    The main finding of Haber and Weiss was that hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is decomposed by a chain reaction. [2] The Haber–Weiss reaction chain proceeds by successive steps: (i) initiation, (ii) propagation and (iii) termination. The chain is initiated by the Fenton reaction: Fe 2+ + H 2 O 2 → Fe 3+ + HO – + HO • (step 1: initiation)
