Elephant Toothpaste - A Catalysis Example to do with your children!
Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed in this reaction using the catalyst potassium iodide or the enzymes found in bakers yeast. In this reaction the oxygen to oxygen single covalent bond is converted to an oxygen to oxygen double bond. This reaction generates lots and lots of oxygen. This is a fun reaction that demonstrates the use of a catalysis in a catalytic reaction. Catalysis chemistry is fun and interesting and absolutely critical for life as we know it.
You can do this catalysis example at home using 3% hydrogen peroxide you can purchase at any pharmacy and bakers yeast that you can get at any grocery store.
