Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction but it is not used up in the reaction. If a catalyst is present, the reacting particles can collide more successfully with less energy and so the ...

Discusses the factors influencing chemical reaction rates and equilibrium. It explains how different reactions occur at varying rates due to factors such as the nature of reactants, surface area, ...

Hydrogen-based technologies are becoming more of a topic as renewable and clean energy sources are desired. A controversial ...

RECENT investigations on the incorporation of metal ions into porphyrins solubilized in aqueous detergent solutions have revealed two factors having a marked influence on the reaction-rate.
