Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is common in many households and is used as a bleaching agent. It usually comes in a dark, opaque bottl

e. When exposed to heat or light, hydrogen peroxide will decompose according to the reaction:
2 H2O2→2 H2O + O2

Iron Nitrate has been shown to be an effective catalyst to accelerate the decomposition process, and sodium phosphate can inhibit the effects of this catalytic effect.

Naturally, the consumer does not want their hydrogen peroxide to decompose. Consider the factors affecting reaction rate that you learned about in this lesson. What should the consumer should do to prevent the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?. For example, should the hydrogen peroxide be stored in a warm or cool location? Use scientific reasoning to support your response.

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

Answer:

The fire may grow bigger, depending on the gas.

Explanation:

If you expose more air to a small flame then it could grow larger because air keeps fire alive.

Student 1You are supplied with a 100 mL beaker that you weigh on a pocket balance – its weight clean and dry is 29.3 g. You then
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: density = 0.993 g/ml

Explanation:

Data

mass beaker empty = 29.3 g

volume of liquid = 15 ml

mass beaker + liquid = 44.2 g

Formula

             density = mass / volume

Process

mass of liquid = 44.2 - 29.3

                       = 14.9 g

             density = 14.9 / 15

                          = 0.993 g/ml

What is process of bringing water to boiling affects
jek_recluse [69]

Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. There are two main types of boiling; nucleate boiling where small bubbles of vapour form at discrete points, and critical heat flux boiling where the boiling surface is heated above a certain critical temperature and a film of vapor forms on the surface. Transition boiling is an intermediate, unstable form of boiling with elements of both types. The boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F, but is lower with the decreased atmospheric pressure found at higher altitudes.

Boiling water is used as a method of making it potable by killing microbes that may be present. The sensitivity of different micro-organisms to heat varies, but if water is held at 70 °C (158 °F) for ten minutes, many organisms are killed, but some are more resistant to heat and require one minute at the boiling point of water. Clostridium spores can survive this treatment, but as the infection caused by this microbe is not water-borne, this is not a problem.

Boiling is also used in cooking. Foods suitable for boiling include vegetables, starchy foods such as rice, noodles and potatoes, eggs, meats, sauces, stocks and soups. As a cooking method it is simple and suitable for large scale cookery. Tough meats or poultry can be given a long, slow cooking and a nutritious stock is produced. Disadvantages include loss of water-soluble vitamins and minerals. Commercially prepared foodstuffs are sometimes packed in polythene sachets and sold as "boil-in-the-bag" products.

1. What number on the periodic table determines the number of electrons lost or gained?
vekshin1

Answer:

1. atomic #

2.The sugar-water is a homogeneous mixture

Explanation:

1.  However, if it has positive ion, then this electron number will go down (ie +2 charge means two electrons have been lost, so the electron/atomic number will go down by two) and vice versa.

2.Sugar dissolves and is spread throughout the glass of water. The sand sinks to the bottom. The sugar-water is a homogenous mixture while the sand-water is a heterogeneous mixture. Both are mixtures, but only the sugar-water can also be called a solution.
