Hydrogen peroxide can be used to disinfect and clean surfaces around the home. It breaks down over time into oxygen gas and water.
Consider the following reaction:
Some amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reacts to produce 1 molecule of oxygen (0)
and 2 molecules of water (H, O).
Use the number of atoms in the reaction to answer the question below.
Chemical element Number of atoms in the reaction
H
4
O
4
During this reaction, how many molecules of hydrogen peroxide (H202) react?
