This depends on a variety of factors such as temperature, the strength of the hydrogen peroxide solution and the presence or not of a catalyst, like manganese dioxide or silver. Acidic solutions also exhibit better stability. So, a slightly acidic and weak solution of hydrogen peroxide, stored in a cool place, will break down the slowest. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen, liberating heat in the process.

Can an apple break down hydrogen peroxide?
Yes it can. I did it in science class just today, and it works. It happens slowly but it does break down hydrogen peroxide.
What is produced when hydrogen peroxide is broken down?
When two molecules of hydrogen peroxide break down, one molecule of water and one molecule of diatomic oxygen are produced.
How should you dispose of hydrogen Peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide will not damage your plumbing, so you are free to pour it down the drain.
What are the products in hydrogen peroxide when it is broken down by catalase?
Water & oxygen.
When hydrogen peroxide is poured on a cut on a persons skin the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas what type of change is this?
This is a chemical reaction. A decomposition reaction.

Does manganese dioxide catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
Yes manganese dioxide catalyzes the break down of hydrogen peroxide.
What are Peroxisoms?
the proliferators are what the peroxisomes use to help break down the hydrogen peroxide. They do this because hydrogen peroxide is harmuful towards the cell.
Does water turn into hydrogrn peroxIde after a while?
No, Hydrogen Peroxide will eventually turn into water because it will break down from H2O2 into H2O but water will not turn into hydrogen peroxide....

Does the human liver break down more hydrogen peroxide in the summer or winter?
The enzyme catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide in the liver. Seasons do not generally affect the amount of hydrogen peroxide breakdown, because humans regulate their body temperature.
What is the formula when liquid hydrogen peroxide decomposes to liquid water and oxygen gas?
hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 break down occurs 2H2O2 - 2H2O + O2
Which organelle can convert hydrogen peroxide into two harmless products?
Catalase is an enzyme produced by the liver which can break down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water...Does that answer your question?
How do you reduce hydrogen peroxide to water in homely method?
You can decompose hydrogen peroxide into water by adding a few pieces of uncooked diced potato or liver to it. Both potatoes and liver contain enzymes that will break down hydrogen peroxide.
What does catalase do to hydrogen peroxide?
Because the shape of the active site on catalase only permits it to break down hydrogen peroxide. This is the case for many enzymes such as catalase, although some enzymes can break down more than one substrate.
What would most likely be the product of H2 plus 02?
Hydrogen and oxygen can for water or hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, so unless it is stored in a dark container it will break down into water.
