Which Metal Oxide Is The Most Effective in Catalysing The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide? The aim of this investigation is to find out which metal oxides are best at catalysing the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). In order to do this, some metal oxides will need to be selected for testing. The metal oxides that are going to be investigated are: · Sodium Oxide Na2O · Magnesium Oxide MgO · Iron (ii) Oxide FeO · Aluminium Oxide Al2O3 · Tin Oxide SnO2 Five metal oxides have been chosen because it is a reasonable number from which to obtain a good set if results and also the metals oxides chosen consist of metals from different areas of the periodic table thus allowing for a good contrast. To attempt to make the results as accurate as possible, all of the tests carried out (further described later) will be repeated twice and then averaged. To make sure that...
