I shall be investigating what affects the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. I will accomplish this by setting up an experiment with a hypothesis, diagrams and a complete write up. Hydrogen Peroxide is a colourless, viscous and unstable liquid with strong oxidising properties. It is a chemical compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen with the chemical formula H202. Pure, anhydrous Hydrogen Peroxide is a colourless, syrupy liquid with a relative density of 1.44. It blisters the skin and has a metallic taste. The liquid solidifies at -0.41°C (31.4°F). Concentrated solutions are unstable, and the pure liquid may explode violently if heated to a temperature above 100°C (302.4°F). It is soluble in water. To slow the decomposition of the peroxide into water and oxygen, organic substances such as acetanilide are added to the solutions, and they are kept in dark bottles at a low temperature. Hydrogen Peroxide is manufactured in large amounts by the...
