Question

What substances are formed as a result of this reaction?

Answer 1

Well water and dioxygen.........

Hydrogen peroxide disproportionates according to the following reaction:

H2O2→H2O+12O2

The oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is formally oxidized from −I to 0 in oxygen gas, AND reduced from −Ito −II in water.

The simultaneous oxidation and reduction is formally known as a disproportionation reaction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is the process in which atoms present in the starting substances rearrange to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products.
