Hydrogen peroxide

STEPS IN BALANCING REDOX EQUATIONS 1) Assign the Oxidation Numbers The Oxidation Number (ON) of an element is its charge. It is the number of electrons an element contains. This would be our basis on whether the element gained or lost electrons in chemical reactions. We can say that an element is in its Oxidation State when the element already has a specific ON. Unlike with our previous examples, not all equations would already reveal the ON of each element. In actuality, equations would…

As it can be seen the concentration of the phenol compounds decreased as the hydrogen peroxide increases. The presence of the anions decreases the rates of the phenolic compounds, the sulfates influence in a smaller degree. For phenol and 2-nitrophenol the difference in slope or degradation rates for chloride and sulfate are 0.71 and 0.55, and only 0.16 for 2-chlorophenol. The presence of chloride inhibits in greater proportion the formation of hydroxyl radicals than the sulfate , this can be…

Reaction #2- A few little bubbles when the Mg Dioxide combined with the Hydrogen peroxide. Reaction #3-A pop noise occurred appeared in the Test Tube with the combination of the Solid Zinc and Hydrochloric. Reaction #4-A gas substance came from the Test Tube with the mix of Copper (ll) Sulfate and Sodium Hydroxide. Conclusion: Better…

The rate of reaction will increase. D. The rate of reaction will decrease. 3. Given the equilibrium reaction in a closed…

One of the main focal points in today’s society is outward beauty, which consists of hair, makeup and most importantly a white smile. In order to achieve a pearly white smile, Americans pay 1.4 billion dollars a year on non-prescription whitening products (Barlow, 2012). Most people believe that oral hygiene products were just recently invented, but historians say that Egyptians were the first people group to create a toothpaste (1teethwhitening, 2010). In early history, people would cut off…

correct way of going about this is having water attack the molecule. After attaching the HSO4 to the molecule, they would break off a bisulfate ion (HSO3-) leaving a negative oxygen on the product molecule. Then the students drew the oxygen taking a hydrogen from water or a new sulfuric acid molecule. The issue with this is that breaking the bond between a sulfur and an oxygen would be impossible under those conditions because that bond is too strong to break. Although this would be…

instance, • carboxypeptidase is an hydrolytic enzyme important in digestion, contains a zinc ion coordinated to many amino acid residues of the protein. • Another enzyme, catalase, which is an well-organized catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Because it contains iron-porphyrin complexes. In both cases, the coordinated metal ions are probably the sites of catalytic activity. • Other coordination compounds in biological systems include chlorophyll and vitamin b12, a complex…

The authors set up an experiment using 90 bovine teeth and divided them into five groups. The experiment lasted for fourteen days. In group one, they used 10% carbamide peroxide and applied it eight hours a day. Group two used 16% carbamide peroxide which was also used eight hours a day. Group three used 35% hydrogen peroxide that was activated with an LED light which was used four times at seven day intervals. The last two…

reaction between ammonia and oxygen. There is also a decrease in concentration of hydroxylamine, which presumably reacts with oxygen and gives nitrogen dioxide and water. The other reaction that decomposes ammonia is formation of molecular nitrogen and hydrogen, either molecular or atomic. The unreacted oxygen atoms form molecular oxygen. Chlorates decompose to chlorites and chlorine dioxide. The main results obtained in this study are based on the simulations and quantitative data about change…

was studied as a function of temperature in acidic (30, 60, 70, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping HCl strength 0.1M), basic (40, 65, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping NaOH strength 0.01M) and oxidative (50, 70, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping peroxide strength 15 %) mediums. The degradation processes were induced and observed using the proposed HPLC method by monitoring the decrease in drug concentration with increasing…
