On the Experiment of Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Iodide
Ancient scholars were very diligent in knowing things. There are experiments of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide today, and the secrets are worth exploring.

Prepare hydrogen peroxide solution, potassium iodide solid and various utensils first. Take an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide solution and put it in a clean container, and then slowly add potassium iodide. In an instant, the reaction suddenly starts, and bubbles appear in the solution, such as boiling soup.

Investigate its principle, potassium iodide is a catalyst in this reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, and under the catalysis of potassium iodide, it decomposes rapidly. The products of its decomposition are water and oxygen, bubbles, and oxygen. In this process, although potassium iodide participated in the reaction, the reaction ended, and its quality and quantity remained unchanged, which is really wonderful.

Looking at this experiment, we can see the wonderful interaction of matter in the world. Chemical reactions do not occur for no reason, and they all follow certain laws. Although this experiment is simple, it can reveal many chemical principles.

For scholars, such experiments should be carefully pondered, from which they can understand the profound meaning of chemistry, and then deduce the law of change of all things, which is beneficial to the way of knowing things. Enable scholars to use this as a basis to explore the seclusion, and go further and further in the path of science.
