Reactions: Separating gasoline from crude oil, and using thermodynamics to answer hydrogen peroxide question

The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...

Reaction of Metmyoglobin with Hydrogen Peroxide

THE formation of a well-defined red complex between hydrogen peroxide and methæmoglobin or metmyoglobin is well established 1–3. Keilin and Hartree found that the formation requires one molecule of ...
