Experiment – Hydrogen Peroxide Foam In this experiment you will make oxygen from Hydrogen Peroxide Make Sure You Have… Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Detergent solution (this is best watered down or it just sits on top of the H2O2) Potassium Iodide (KI) Vegetable Pieces (potato and celery are really good!) 2 x 100 ml Measuring cylinders 2 x Plastic Pipettes Spatula Tray Water What To Do…. 1. Pipette 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide into each measuring cylinder on the tray. 2. Add a few drops of detergent solution to each measuring cylinder. 3. Drop a piece of vegetable into the first measuring cylinder. You should see bubbles of oxygen 4. Add a spatula of potassium iodide to the third measuring cylinder You should see a big snake of bubbles that comes out the top of the measuring cylinder 5. Wash everything up (solutions can go down the sink)
