What kind of a chemical reaction happens when hydrogen peroxide can break apart to form water and oxygen gas?

That would be a decomposition reaction. The equation for it would be:
2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
The process called electrolysis will do this.

What happens when a hydrogen atpm atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction?
When a hydrogen atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction, it gains an electron.
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide with an apple?
It gets softer.
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 happens when hydrogen peroxide is mixed with raw steak?
i think all the blood will disappear
What happens when hydrogen peroxide decomposes?
h2o2 decomposes to o2 and h2o.h2o2 is very harmful
What happens when you put hydrogen peroxide on substances taken from most biological materials?
A violent reaction of oxydation.
What type of reaction happens when a hamburger meat is combined together with hydrogen peroxide?
When hamburger meat comes into contact with hydrogen peroxide, a decomposition reaction occurs. The hamburger meat will dissolve due to the enzymes in the hydrogen peroxide eating away at the meat, and it will break down into its simpler substances. a very bad tasting one

When a hydrogen atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction, it gains an electron.
What happens when Alka-Seltzer is mixed with Hydrogen Peroxide?
having just done this experiment for my chemistry lab, i found that adding it to hydrogen peroxide produces a similar reaction as adding it to water. it dissolves almost as fast.
What happens when hydrogen and oxygen molecules form water?
A chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen occur.
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide and iodine and sugar?
Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that is sometimes made in our cells due to some chemical reactions. It is poisonous so cells produce an enzyme called 'Catalase' which break down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Because catalase is in our blood, if hydrogen peroxide is added to it, it breaks down: Blood + H2 O2(hydrogen peroxide) --changes to-- H2O (water) + O2 (oxygen).
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide powdered yeast and dishwashing liquid?
When the three chemicals are combined it creates a foam like substance which expands. This is a common experiment and can be easily created in your own house or in a science laboratory. It is often referred to as Elephants Toothpaste.
When a chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen gas occurs what happens?
water is formed H2O (2 hydrogen 1 oxygen)
What kind of change happens when hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react burn and form water?
This reaction is a chemical change.
How does acid form into hydrogen a chemical propertie?
by electrolysis of acid . And it also happens during acid base reaction. During reaction the hydrogen in acid gets free. And it forms the salt.
