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 ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. HUANG Weixin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) realized the production of oxygenated ...

The reaction in chamber one puts electrons into oxygen to make hydrogen peroxide, which is balanced by a counter reaction in chamber three that takes electrons from water to make oxygen -- matching ...

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 ...

Rust can look permanent, but chemistry tells a different story. I tested hydrogen peroxide and citric acid to see how effectively they break down corrosion. The reaction was immediate and more ...

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, ...

THE formation of a well-defined red complex between hydrogen peroxide and methæmoglobin or metmyoglobin is well established 1–3. Keilin and Hartree found that the formation requires one molecule of ...
