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.
Performing the elephant toothpaste catalytic reaction at home is fun and you can do it with your children. Just make sure you use the safe elephant tooth paste recipe. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide and bakes yeast. Also do it in your sink or bathtub to make clean up easy!
When you do this reaction at home make sure you have on proper shoes, glove and chemical splash goggles.
