This equation describes the reaction process between iron (Fe) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to form iron(II) hydroxide (Fe[OH]2) and hydrogen peroxide.
- Reaction conditions:
This reaction is typically performed under room temperature and standard pressure conditions. If we want to increase the reaction rate, we can increase the temperature or use a catalyst.
- Reaction process:
Iron (Fe) reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to form iron (II) hydroxide (Fe[OH]2), and continues to react with hydrogen peroxide to generate more H2O2.
- Phenomena occurring:
During the reaction process, iron will be oxidized from a non-oxygen state to a +2 state in iron(II) hydroxide. The color of the solution may also change depending on the concentration of the reactants involved.
