Lab #8: Determination of Percent Hydrogen Peroxide by Titration

Description

Students will determine the actual concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide in the bottle by titration and determine if it is lower than the value on the label. Hydrogen Peroxide will degrade over time, and students will determine how much it degrades. The activity contains enough materials for 15 groups of students as well as a Teacher’s Guide and Student Study Guide Copymasters.
