The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...

Some chemical reactions change temperature, change color, produce a gas, or make a solid from two liquids. Try this reaction and see what it does! Pour 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide into a cup.

Chemical reactions involve the interaction and transformation of molecules. The Maillard reaction is one example that occurs in baked goods, where sugars react with proteins to create new molecules ...

Chemists Joel Rosenthal and Daniel G. Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provide this answer. When molecular hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O 2) are combined and allowed to react together ...
