What cell structure controls the conversion of H2O2 to water?
The peroxisome is the cell structure that controls the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen. It contains the enzyme catalase, which catalyzes the breakdown of H2O2 into water and oxygen.
What is solute and solvent of oxygenated water?
Oxygenated water is a chemical compound (H2O2) not a solute or solvent. Of course, H2O2 can be a solvent for other compounds but impurities decompose in very short time H2O2.
Is the chemical formula for water H2O2?
No, the chemical formula for water is H2O, indicating that it contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. H2O2 is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide, which contains two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms.
When the H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent which product might be formed from it O2 or H2O?
When H2O2 acts as an oxidizing agent, the H2O2 must be reduced. Therefore, the product from it will be water, in which oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, whereas in H2O2 has an oxidation number of -1 and in O2 the oxygen has an oxidation number of 0.
What molecule is catalase breaking down in this reaction?
Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
