Tippex Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi I recently tested out an air/saltwater battery. Without hydrogen peroxide the bulb dosen't light up. When i add hydrogen peroxide the bulb glows. How does it affect the redox reactions? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkshade Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I don't know the correct answer but Hydrogen Peroxide is not stable, and in normal conditions it decomposes by the following reaction: [ce]2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2[/ce] so the affection has probably something to do with this.
