Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 (which you probably know) so its pretty much water with a extra Oxygen atom. Hydrogen peroxide is a unstable element and when disturbed it easily flings off the extra oxygen atom with quite a bit of heat and energy and initially turns into water and oxygen, that is why its used as a bleach because the oxygen flings off hitting dirt particles or colour particles.

Back to your question, what silver does is it acts as a catalyst(if you don't know what a catalyst is read the next paragraph) causing this reaction to happen much faster, and alot more energy is released (since its happening alot faster), hydrogen peroxide used with silver can produce enough energy to power rockets hens why sometimes people call it rocket fuel (hydrogen peroxide is actually used in rockets)

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up something but doesn't get consumed itself, it only helps the reaction.

I personally believe that Hydrogen Peroxide will be a possiable fuel source for the future, I know it has easy potential to produce a car with 1500hp, I'm not a scientice so but I know theres few minor issues they need to overcome, China has produced a Hydrogen peroxide car(that runs solely on hydrogen peroxide)

Is brass an ionic compound solid chemical reaction or a base?

Brass is a BASE METAL :)


On what surfaces or materials should hydrogen peroxide not be used?

Hydrogen peroxide should not be used on surfaces like marble, granite, or brass, as it can cause damage or discoloration. It should also not be used on fabrics like silk or wool, as it may cause fading or weakening of the material.


What is the chemical reaction of brass to PVC?

When brass comes into contact with PVC, a chemical reaction does not occur as they are made of different materials. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while PVC is a type of plastic. However, over time, the PVC may cause discoloration or degradation of the brass surface due to possible reactions with chemicals in the PVC.


Does burnished brass and antique brass look the same?

Burnished brass and antique brass almost look exactly the same. They are created by polishing unlacquered brass. This creates a chemical reaction that looks 'burnished' or 'antiqued'. Brass can also look like this after many years and be referred to as antique brass.


What chemical reactions will happen if you connect galvinized copper and brass metal pipes?

There is no chemical reaction that will happen if galvanized pipes are connected to copper pipes via a brass intermediary. The reason is that brass does not react to either copper or zinc, the mineral used to galvanize metal pipes.


What happens to Brass in Citric acid?

It will dissolve brass slowly. It can be used as cleaner, but it results in a reddish color. Rinse the brass parts with H2O2 may get back the original color, too much and it will turn greenish.


Ammonia is made from?

Ammonia is made from a chemical reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen gases under high pressure and temperature, typically using the Haber process. This reaction produces ammonia gas, which is industrially important for use in fertilizers, cleaning products, and various chemical processes.


What is the process for achieving a blue patina on brass?

To achieve a blue patina on brass, the process involves applying a solution of ammonia and salt to the brass surface and allowing it to oxidize over time. This creates a chemical reaction that results in the desired blue-green color. The brass can also be heated or treated with other chemicals to enhance the patina effect.


What is the chemical symbol for brass?

There isn't a chemical symbol for Brass. It is an alloy; a mixture of metals in various proportions, depending on what qualities are desired in the final product. Brass is an alloy of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn). Its chemical formula is CuZn


Does LPG have a chemical reaction with brass?

You mean like, you've got a propane tank and the brass valve is blue? That's bad, because it isn't LPG that did that. It's anhydrous ammonia, and it's very strong evidence someone's making meth. Meth makers who steal anhydrous--they can't BUY it, they have no reason to--store it in propane tanks.


Why did they use brass shavings and not brass blocks in finding the composition of brass?

Using brass shavings increases the surface area available for chemical reactions, leading to more accurate results in determining the composition of brass. This increased surface area allows for better mixing with reagents, promoting a more thorough reaction. Additionally, shavings are easier to handle and disperse evenly, ensuring that the sample is representative of the overall composition of the brass.
