Potassium Dichromate Hydrogen Peroxide

Experiments with Potassium Dichromate and Hydrogen Peroxide
At some point, I wanted to study the reaction of Potassium Dichromate and Hydrogen Peroxide. Then I took an appropriate amount of potassium dichromate and placed it in a clean vessel. Its color is orange-red, like a fine crystal, flickering under the light, as if it contains mysterious power.

Then slowly drop into the hydrogen peroxide solution, and in an instant, there seems to be a magical change in the vessel. The color of the solution gradually changes, at first reddish, like a first-appearing glow in the sky, then more intense, and finally a strange color. This change is not just a change in color, but also a slight escape of gas, curling and rising, like a light cloud.

Upon closer inspection, the gas is colorless and slightly smelly, and seems to contain special properties. In this reaction, potassium dichromate interacts with hydrogen peroxide, and the mechanism is very complex. The valence state of chromium in potassium dichromate quietly changes between reactions, just like a magical journey in the microscopic world. Not to be outdone, hydrogen peroxide rearranges and combines the structure of its oxygen atoms in the tide of reactions.

The reaction between the two is not a simple encounter, but a competition and fusion of chemical forces. During the process, energy also changes, either absorbed or released, invisibly interpreting the mystery of chemistry.

This experiment focuses on potassium dichromate and hydrogen peroxide to explore the wonders of their reactions and gain a glimpse of the wonders of the chemical world in detail.
