close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Photosynthesis is one of the ...

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 ...

(Credit: Thakur et al., 2024) This water-based ink was created by mixing TOCN (tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofiber), a 10.6 wt % aqueous CNC (cellulose nanocrystals) and lignin in a 15:142:10 ratio ...

Nuclear power plants harness the energy of countless atoms of uranium splitting apart, or fissioning, in a chain reaction. Heavy water can help keep such a chain reaction going. As each uranium ...

Water molecules can break down into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq)+OH^{-}(aq)\) This is a reversible reaction. A small proportion of water molecules ...
