Why is it an exothermic reaction with liver and hydrogen peroxide?
It is an exothermic reaction because heat is given off.
Is reacton of catalase with Hydrogen peroxide exothermic or endothermic?
exothermic
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide endothermic or exothermic?
It is obscenely exothermic This means that Hydrogen Peroxide is releasing heat to the surrounding environment, thus increasing the temperature.
What function of the liver creates hydrogen peroxide?
The peroxidatic function of the liver is the function that creates hydrogen peroxide.
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
Mix hydrogen peroxide and liver?
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
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 turns hydrogen peroxide into water?
Enzymes in the liver.
How does liver react with hydrogen peroxide?
test it and find out
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 enzyme filled sac is found in the liver and produces hydrogen peroxide?
Catalase, however it does not produce hydrogen peroxide but rather catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
What color gas is produced when mixing Hydrogen Peroxide and Liver?
Colourless, oxygen is produce by the catalytic action of the Iron in the liver on the hydrogen peroxide. 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
