Hydrogen peroxide is a very powerful oxidizing agent. The cell walls of the yeast are made up of organic compounds that can be oxidized by the H2O2. It destroys the cell walls and kills the yeast in the process.

Why does yeast froth when put in peroxide?
Yeast froths when put in peroxide because the acidic nature of peroxide reacts chemically with the products of yeast, causing hydrogen to be given off and froth to fizz rapidly.
Why sand didn't react to hydrogen peroxide?
Sand does not contain any enzymes or catalysts to decompose hydrogen peroxide
What is the chemical reaction when yeast is in peroxide?
The yeast itself doesn't react, the enzyme within the yeast which is called catalase simply acts as a catalyst for the decomposition of H202 (hydrogen peroxide) in to H20 and 02. You will see the mixture begin to rise, this is the oxygen bubbles.
What do you get when you combine acetone and hydrogen peroxide?
The acetone and hydrogen peroxide would react with each other to make the high explosive acetone peroxide. An acid such as hydrochloric is commonly used in the synthesis of acetone peroxide, which speeds up the formation if it.
How do you neutralized nitrogen dioxide gas?
what you can do is to have it react with hydrogen peroxide at low temperature. When these react you get nitric acid: 2NO2 + H2O2 -> 2HNO3
What do Hydrogen Peroxide and yeast make?
yeast infection
Will hydrogen peroxide treat a yeast infection?
Yes
What kind of reaction is made between hydrogen peroxide and yeast?
Hydrogen Peroxide decomposes in oxygen gas and water.
In a hydrogen peroxide and yeast experiment what is the purpose of the cups with yeast and nothing?
To look good
What gas does yeast and hydrogen peroxide make?
I think its oxygen
Why does hydrogen peroxide foam when mixed with yeast?
because we have skills
Why does yeast froth when put in peroxide?
Yeast froths when put in peroxide because the acidic nature of peroxide reacts chemically with the products of yeast, causing hydrogen to be given off and froth to fizz rapidly.
Why sand didn't react to hydrogen peroxide?
Sand does not contain any enzymes or catalysts to decompose hydrogen peroxide
How does liver react with hydrogen peroxide?
test it and find out
Why does ground up meat react more than unground meat in hydrogen peroxide?
The ground meat has more surface area available to react with the hydrogen peroxide.
What is the chemical reaction when yeast is in peroxide?
The yeast itself doesn't react, the enzyme within the yeast which is called catalase simply acts as a catalyst for the decomposition of H202 (hydrogen peroxide) in to H20 and 02. You will see the mixture begin to rise, this is the oxygen bubbles.
Is thorium and hydrogin peroxide dangerous if mixed?
Thorium (as a metal) doesn't react with hydrogen peroxide.
