Which substance is the substrate in the equation 2 H2O2 ------- 2 H2O plus o2?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the substrate in the given equation. It is broken down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) by the enzyme catalase.
How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2?
The higher the concentration of an enzyme, the faster the rate of decomposition. There is actually an enzyme in the human body that catalyses H2O2. It is catalase, which breaks down the toxic H2O2 into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
Balance h2o2 h2o o2?
The balanced equation for this decomposition reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
Do the formulas H2O2 AND H2O represent the same compound?
no. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, H2O is water.
Do h2o and h2o2 represent the same compound?
No, H2O is water and H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
Which substance is the substrate in the equation 2 H2O2 ------- 2 H2O plus o2?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the substrate in the given equation. It is broken down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) by the enzyme catalase.
What can break down H2O2?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be broken down by catalase, an enzyme found in cells that helps convert H2O2 into water and oxygen. The reaction is: 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2. Additionally, environmental factors like heat, light, and exposure to certain metals can also degrade H2O2 over time.
Why do cells break down H2O2?
Cells would break down H2O2 for the use of H+ and O- ion in other need compounds or for the H2O molecules for hydrolysis reactions (breaking down larger macromolecules), unless your referring to why do cells seem to breakH2O2 into H2O + O2, it's not really the cells breaking it down it's the enzyme or catalyst that the cells contain, the catalyst that some cells contain (liver cells) that will break down H2O2 is Hydrolase.
What molecule is catalase breaking down in this reaction?
Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2?
The higher the concentration of an enzyme, the faster the rate of decomposition. There is actually an enzyme in the human body that catalyses H2O2. It is catalase, which breaks down the toxic H2O2 into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
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....
Balance h2o2 h2o o2?
The balanced equation for this decomposition reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
Do formulas H2O2 and H2O represent that same compound?
No H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide while H2O is water the universal solvent.
Do the formulas H2O2 AND H2O represent the same compound?
no. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, H2O is water.
Do h2o and h2o2 represent the same compound?
No, H2O is water and H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
What two products result from the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
H2O2 -> H2O + O2 (Without balancing)
How do you balance H2O2 - H2O?
The equation as given can not be balanced, because it is incomplete: When hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce water, it also produces oxygen. A proper, balanced equation for the reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
