What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide with an apple?

When hydrogen peroxide is mixed with an apple, it can react with enzymes present in the apple flesh to produce oxygen gas. This reaction can cause the apple to foam or bubble as the oxygen gas is released. It is not harmful to consume the apple after this reaction occurs.


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 to an apple when you put iodine on it?

When iodine comes in contact with an apple, it reacts with the starch present in the apple and turns black or dark blue. This reaction indicates the presence of starch in the apple as iodine is used as an indicator for detecting the presence of starch in various substances.


What happens when you put peroxide on a wound?

Peroxide is actually not what does the healing. When you put Hydrogen Peroxide (chemical formula: H2O2) on your wound, it is separated into water and oxygen by the enzyme catalase. The catalase ONLY targets the hydrogen peroxide, and some of the bacteria is forced out with the oxygen (visually seen as the fizzing). THE TRUTH: Peroxide actually doesn't do much for you at all. To get a decent effect, get 4-6 cotton swabs, and wet them with water THEN Peroxide. the water will act as a mode of "transportation" for the bacteria to get out of the cut. This will slightly increase the effectiveness of a SINGLE cotton swab... which is still not much! (Thus the hole "4-6 cottonswabs" comment)


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.

What happens to an apple in hydrogen peroxide?

Apple contains an enzyme called catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. If the pieces of apple are small, oxygen "clings" to the apple piece and causes it the float to the surface of the solution.
