4. What happened in this particular reaction? What happens in general decomposition reaction?
decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
Reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in moderate temperatures without the presence of a catalyst [11]. It can be sped up by increasing the temperature, which triggers the reaction of thermal decomposition. This reaction can be carried out in a liquid or vapour phase. This reaction is exothermic.
