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.

What does hydrogen peroxide break down into when it decomposes?

When hydrogen peroxide decomposes, it breaks down into water and oxygen gas.


How does hydrogen peroxide dissolve solids?

Hydrogen peroxide can dissolve solids by oxidizing them, breaking down their molecular structure. This chemical reaction causes the solids to break apart into smaller components, which can then be dispersed or dissolved in the solution.


What is the fewest number of catalase molecules needed to break down 10 molecules of hydrogen peroxide?

Each catalase molecule can break down one molecule of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, at least 10 catalase molecules would be needed to break down 10 molecules of hydrogen peroxide.


Does manganese dioxide catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?

Yes manganese dioxide catalyzes the break down of hydrogen peroxide.

Cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct of many metabolic processes, but it is toxic to cells if it accumulates. Cells have enzymes like catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, preventing cellular damage. If cells are unable to break down hydrogen peroxide, it can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cellular components.


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 cell and what enzyme break down hydrogen peroxide?

Peroxisomes contain the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This reaction helps prevent the accumulation of harmful hydrogen peroxide in the cell.


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.


What is the enzyme we studied in hydrogen peroxide yeast lab?

The enzyme studied in the hydrogen peroxide yeast lab is catalase. Catalase helps to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.


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....


What gas does yeast and hydrogen peroxide make?

Yeast and hydrogen peroxide produce oxygen gas as a byproduct of their reaction. The yeast acts as a catalyst to break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.


When you add catalase to hydrogen peroxide what happens?

Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. This reaction helps to break down harmful hydrogen peroxide into harmless water and oxygen.
