What Is The Balanced Equation For The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide?
The reaction in which one compound decomposes into two or more new substances is known as decomposition reaction. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen gas. It is a spontaneous reaction. A large amount of heat is released during this reaction. So, it is an exothermic reaction. The chemical equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is; 2 H2O2 ——– > 2 H2O + O2 Two moles of hydrogen peroxide break into two moles of water and one mole oxygen gas.
