Liver plus hydrogen peroxide equals what and what?

When Hydrogen Peroxide (2H2O2) is combined with a small piece of liver, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes. This is because the small piece of liver acts as a catalyst, or the cause, of the decomposition of the Hydrogen Peroxide.The balanced equation is thus:2H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) ---------> 2H2O + O2

Potassium Iodide, is a catalyst and so remains unchanged in the reaction. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, both of which are colorless.


Hydrogen peroxide is water plus oxygen gas?

NO! Hydrogen peroxide is an entirely different compound with the formula H2O2. Unlike water, which is a stable compound, hydrogen peroxide is unstable and gradually decomposes to water and oxygen gas. This decomposition can be accelerated by the addition of a catalyst.


Why is there a pop when hydrogen peroxide decomposes?

2H2O2 --> 2H2O and O2 The "pop" is most likely from excess Oxygen in the system.
