Procedure
Part II:
Use concentrated ammonia (dispense in
the hood!).
The experiment will work only if the
mixture is deep dark purple/clear and not emerald/turbid after addition
of ammonia. There cannot be any solid in the mixture, and the set-up
must be air tight.
The addition of peroxide must occur at a
constant rate to avoid backup of the solution from the bottle. Collect
only 3 bottles of oxygen.
Part III:
do not perform A, B;
Part IV:
do not use HgO and PbO2;
do not perform part V.
