- Slide 5
- Filling balloons Which gas is more dense? CO 2 Oxygen What is
density? Density= Mass/Volume Hydrogen peroxide Test tube Balloon
0.2g of Manganese dioxide Hydrogen peroxide + Manganese dioxide
Oxygen
- Slide 6
- Carbon dioxide balloon Fill the test tube half way with vinegar
Put 3-4 teaspoons of baking soda into a balloon Attach the balloon
to the test tube and allow the balloon fill up with gas CO 2
- Slide 7
- Oxygen Balloon Very carefully add two 5ml droppers of hydrogen
peroxide to a test tube Carefully weigh 0.2-0.3g of manganese
dioxide and add it to a balloon Attach the balloon to the test tube
and allow the manganese dioxide to fall into the test tube leave
for about 8-10mins to allow the balloon to fill Manganese dioxide
is a catalyst A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical
reaction but does not get used up Oxygen Hydrogen peroxide Test
tube Balloon 0.2g of Manganese dioxide Hydrogen peroxide +
Manganese dioxide Oxygen
