Step-by-step explanation:

  • reactants --- hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2).
  • products ----- water ( H2O) and oxygen (O2).
  • decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
  • Reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in moderate temperatures without the presence of a catalyst [11]. It can be sped up by increasing the temperature, which triggers the reaction of thermal decomposition. This reaction can be carried out in a liquid or vapour phase. This reaction is exothermic.

hope this helps you.
