Catalysis of Hydrogen Peroxide

On the Catalysis of Hydrogen Peroxide
The physical properties of the world are changeable, and the beauty of chemistry lies in exploring the transformation and transformation of substances. Today, hydrogen peroxide is active and often decomposes itself, but the rate is slow. With the help of catalysis, the decomposition trend is very different.

In the past, a wise man studied the catalytic power of many substances on hydrogen peroxide. Among all things, manganese dioxide stands out. Put manganese dioxide in the liquid of hydrogen peroxide, and in an instant, bubbles emerge, like a spring. This is because manganese dioxide acts as a catalyst to reduce the energy barrier of the reaction, making it easier for hydrogen peroxide molecules to decompose into water and oxygen.

And the wonder of catalysis is not only manganese dioxide. Copper oxide and iron oxide also have catalytic effects, although they are not as fast as manganese dioxide, they can be observed. Taking copper oxide as an example, when hydrogen peroxide is added, bubbles gradually emerge, and although the rate is slow, they continue to decompose, eventually causing hydrogen peroxide to convert into water and oxygen.

In addition, enzymes in organisms also have the ability to catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Such as catalase, its catalytic efficiency is extremely high, and it can decompose hydrogen peroxide in an instant. This enzyme is specific and only loves hydrogen peroxide, protecting cells from hydrogen peroxide in organisms and maintaining the normal state of life.

Looking at it, catalysis is like a boat in a boat in hydrogen peroxide, and it can speed up its decomposition process. The way of chemistry, with the power of catalysis, explores the mystery of material change, which can contribute to people's livelihood and scientific research, and explore endless possibilities.
