Module 4 Flashcards
What type of reaction is performed with the elephant toothpaste demonstration?
Decomposition
Which of the reactions below represents the molecular chemical equation used in the production of elephant toothpaste?
2H2O2(aq) - >2H2O(l)+ O2(g)
What is a catalyst?
It speeds up a chemical reaction
What is acting as a catalyst in the at-home elephant toothpaste experiment?
yeast
What evidence exists in this reaction to indicate a chemical reaction has occurred?
Heat is released and foam is produced
Why is this reaction considered exothermic?
because it releases heat
What is the purpose of adding dish soap to the experiment?
Dish soap is added as a surfactant: it allows the catalytic yeast to react with as much of the hydrogen peroxide as possible.
