Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

One key route for controlling reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis is to prepare catalysts that exhibit only specific types of sites required for desired product formation. Here we show ...

Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris ...

Chemical reactions vary in speed. The rate of reaction measures how much product is made in a given time. For reactions to occur, reactant particles must collide. Factors that affect the rate of ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team has become the first in the world to elucidate the reconstruction mechanism of copper alloy catalysts during ...

Physicists in Canada are the first to use laser light as a catalyst to control chemical reactions. The technique could prove to be an important tool for manipulating the properties of matter at the ...

For a chemical reaction to happen: There are different ways to determine the rate of a reaction. The method chosen usually depends on the reactants and products involved, and how easy it is to measure ...
