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 ...

WE have measured the amounts of hydrogen peroxide and water produced during the hydrogen/oxygen reaction at 538° C between pressures of 300 and 400 mm in a vessel coated with boric acid, using a flow ...

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 ...

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 cell produces electricity through chemical reactions between hydrogen peroxide and aluminum. If perfected, such an electricity source could one day replace conventional batteries in many ...

Producing and distributing hydrogen peroxide is a challenge in many parts of the world. Now scientists have created a small device for hydrogen peroxide production that could be powered by renewable ...

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.
