How Does Hydrogen Peroxide And Liver Have In Their Chemical Reaction
What kind of role does hydrogen peroxide and a liver have in their chemical reaction? In the experiment, we saw they had a reaction, but completed further tests to determine whether they changed after the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is chemically changed into water and the liver is broken down in the reaction. In the experiment, a fresh piece of chicken liver was put into a test tube filled with 3% hydrogen peroxide. We knew a reaction was taking place because the hydrogen peroxide started to foam and bubbles were coming off of the liver. Also, the test tube became warm. The same experiment from a previous hour had sat out for a while. In the test tube, the foam had settled and the liver had turned smaller and lighter in color. When the
old liver was put into fresh hydrogen peroxide, there was less foam than with fresh liver. When we put a piece of fresh liver into the old hydrogen peroxide, there was no foam, and no change in either of the reactants. The hydrogen peroxide changed in the reaction because it became non-reactant to fresh chicken liver. The fresh hydrogen peroxide foamed when the fresh liver was put in it, but the hydrogen peroxide which had already gone through the reaction did not foam. If chicken liver was put into water, there would not be a chemical reaction between them which would cause foam. This shows that the hydrogen peroxide turns into water after the reaction, and the foam is the extra oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide. The liver bubbled during the reaction, and its size and color were changed after the reaction. This shows some part of the liver was reacting with the hydrogen peroxide, and causing it to turn into water. The liver was “broken down” by the hydrogen peroxide because it lost some mass and color. Some might say that the hydrogen peroxide does not change at all after the reaction, because the foam settles down and it stops fizzing, returning to a liquid state. However, this is not accurate because the hydrogen peroxide wasn’t reactive with a new piece of liver. It did not act the same way that fresh hydrogen peroxide did. Its properties were changed during the reaction, therefore it has changed. In a chemical reaction between hydrogen peroxide and a chicken liver, the hydrogen peroxide is turned into water and an oxygen gas through bubbles, and the liver is broken down by the hydrogen peroxide.
