Great video. I'm making a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide and Surfactant (Soap or degreaser). If I put this mixture out in the sun at say at a max of 115degrees fahrenheight on some days will gas be released and how quickly could I expect my 3% solution of Hydrogen Peroxide to decompose? The solution will be in an opaque container.

What is the best way to reduce the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide?

[abdelrhmanokaz]

thanks, its very simple and very usefull

Great explination, but I am not sure about a point which is decomposition reaction can be with oxide, hydroxide, carbonate,sulfate and nitrate .So, how can we get it with peroxide .

[briannamcgregor]

How much Managese oxide should I use and how much Hydrogen Peroxide should I use?

[pranavmuralikrishnan]

brilliant video. lov it. mr k is god. EY dash

[jerichoiza]

From these data, would you be able to calculate the rate constant?

Sir medam plg mach stick which chemical use distenet fire which chemical auto fire

[stella]

How much more reactive is manganese oxide than the OH radicals made from sunlight? how long would decomposition at room temperature with no catalyst take compared to using a catalyst?

[shadaebabe]

i have a question: how do you calculate the tangent?

[AnytthinggGoes]

how much oxygen gas would be produced by mixing yeast and a gallon of hydrogen peroxide

[mertuncensored]

But how can we possibly convert kPa/s rate unit to mol/L.sn?

[Ed-dkxx]

The reason I’m doing this is because I thought we needed to heat it up not I have a steamy cup of H2O2

[projectpocketbanana]

What is the rate of peroxide in heat. Like if i had 50ml of 3% peroxide how long would it at 70°

[recroomnews]

I’m not liking this because it will stay at 666 likes

"Tangent to the curve" That is an entirely useless bit of information. For it to be useful one needs at least one other reference point.
