P LANNING Aim: Our aim is to detect which factors affect the rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with a fixed mass of catalyst. A catalyst is a substance‚ which alters the speed‚ or rate of a chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. The two factors that we can change are the temperature and the concentration. We chose to vary the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The catalyst to speed up the reaction without affecting the result will be manganese

Hydrogen Peroxide & Inorganic Peroxy Compounds Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is also a strong oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid‚ slightly more viscous than water. In dilute solution‚ it appears colorless. Reactions Decomposition Hydrogen peroxide decomposes exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 This process is thermodynamically favorable. It has

the Rate of Reaction of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Emilio Lanza Introduction- In this experiment‚ the rate of reaction‚ calculated in kPa sec-1‚ of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be investigated to see how the change in concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the change in temperature affect the rate of reaction. The data will be collected by measuring the gas pressure. The product of Hydrogen Peroxide is oxygen in a gas state thus it is mandatory to use the gas pressure

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred

Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Potassium Iodide Brief Description: Two solutions are mixed resulting in an eruption of foam resembling a huge stream of toothpaste. This is the classic “Elephant Toothpaste” reaction. Purpose/Goal: Procedure presents an example of a catalyzed reaction. Explanation of Experiment: The rapid evolution of oxygen gas is produced by the following reaction: 2 H2O2 (aq) = 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g) + heat The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the

THE EFFECT OF CATALASE ON HYDROGEN PEROXIDE The aim of the experiments is to see if increasing the surface area of the enzyme Catalase‚ affects the relative activity of the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Then to observe and measure the effect the Catalase has on the chemical breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide. My theory is if you keep increasing the surface area of Catalase‚ the more active sites are available to join with the substrate causing an increase in the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide
