Oxygen can be produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
What is the equation for this reaction?
2H2O2 = O2 +2H2O
H2O2 = 2O + H2
2H2O2 + CO2 = HCO3 + H2 + H2O
What is a suitable catalyst for this reaction?
Manganese oxide
Phosphorus
Sulphur Dioxide
Lead Nitrate
What is the percentage of oxygen in air at atmospheric pressure
21%
78%
0.04%
1%
Other elements can combust in oxygen.
Write a balanced equation for the combustion of sulphur.
S + O2 = SO2
S + O2 = SO4
S + O2 = SO + H2O
SO2 dissolves in rainwater to form an acidic solution.
Write a balanced equation for the combustion of hydrogen:
H2 + O2 = 2
Select two uses for carbon dioxide:
fizzy drinks
fire extinguishers
sterilization
laughing gas
