Elephant toothpaste is a foamy substance caused by the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using potassium iodide or yeast and warm water as a catalyst. How rapidly the reaction proceeds will depend on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Because it requires only a small number of ingredients and makes a…
Chemical Reactions are all around us. Whether it is the light from the sun or the cars that we see each day, we are surrounded by these reactions in our everyday life. Chemical Reactions, in the simplest of terms, refer to those reactions in which the bonds are immediately broken…
