Catalase, however it does not produce hydrogen peroxide but rather catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.

Why is hydrogen peroxide used when sanitising plastic bottles before filling?

Hydrogen Peroxide is used to sterilize plastic bottles before they are filled because it kills any germs and will not damage the bottle. If other chemicals were used, it could damage the plastic or stay in the plastic and get into the liquid that is being put in the bottles.


How can you tell which small testube is collecting hydrogen gas and which one is collecting oxygen gas before you test them?

Coming from the dissociation (e.g. by electrolysis) of water (H2O, DHMO), the 'hydrogen' test tube is filled twice as much as the 'oxygen' is. However, coming from the dissociation of pure hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, DHDO) they are filled the same volume.


What experiment shows how pH affects enzymes?

Equipment: - Hydrogen Peroxide - Catalase - Equally sized paper slips (a small rectangle, 2 cm X 1 cm) - Tweezers - Beaker - Stopwatch -pH testing strips -Acids (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) -Bases (milk, baking soda, ammonia etc.) For the control, take one of the paper slips, using the tweezers, and dip it into the catalase, then place the catalase covered slip at the bottom of a beaker filled about halfway with hydrogen peroxide. You cannot simply drop the slip into the beaker, you must stick the tweezers into the beaker so that they reach the bottom, and then release. When the catalase contacts the hydrogen peroxide the hydrogen peroxide will release oxygen as a reaction, these oxygen bubbles in the liquid will push the paper to the top. Start the stop watch precisely when the strip enters the hydrogen peroxide, to measure the rate of reaction, and stop it again when the slip reaches the top. And finally for the affect of pH on the enzyme, simply change the pH of the hydrogen peroxide adding an acid, or a base. Then, just rerun the experiment and it will be evident that the pH affects the rate of reaction. The pH of hydrogen peroxide is roughly 2, or in that region, so adding a base will speed up the reaction, because the pH optimum of catalase is around 7.


Is hydrogen peroxide paramagnetic?

Peroxide ion isO22-is diamagnetic. It has the hybridisation:No. of electrons: 18σ1s2σ*1s2 σ2s2σ*2s2 σ2px2π2py2π2pz2π*2py2π*2pz2As it has no unpaired electrons, it is diamagnetic.

What is produced when hydrogen peroxide and yeast are mixed?

Yeast does not react with hydrogen peroxide but it is a catalyst. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) decomposes into H2O and O2. This is always happening but at a very low rate so you don't notice it. If you add yeast to hydrogen peroxide it will speed up the decomposition of H2O2. However the yeast does not react with the H2O2 and nothing is chemically altered in the yeast. That is because yeast is a catalyst.
