  2. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments. [1] Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis .

    Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into oxygen and water. As a small amount of hydrogen peroxide generates a large volume of oxygen, the oxygen quickly pushes out of the container. [6] The soapy water traps the oxygen, creating bubbles, and turns into foam. [6] About 5-10 drops of food coloring could also be added before the catalyst to dramatize ...

    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.

    When the aqueous solution of hydroquinones and hydrogen peroxide reaches the "vestibule" (Eisner's word), catalysts facilitate the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide and the oxidation of the hydroquinone. [1] Heat from the reaction brings the mixture to near the boiling point of water and produces gas that drives the ejection. The damage ...

  8. 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)

  9. 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.
