If a catalyst is introcuced to ecxellaerate decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide with the the aid of a condenser and another bottle theat is connectect to the first.

Is it to maintain an equilibrium of pressure etc.? Is the gas collected in O2 form volitale even though it is being mixed with the air that was already present before the O2 was collected from the process of decomposing thr hydrogen peroxide.Or!

You have made a double post and neither is very good; at least, neither makes sense to me. Perhaps some other tutor can tell what is going on.

Thanks I was thinking the same thing when my professor actually asked this question on our lab report well now I see why no one in lab could figure out the answer. Will print your rtesponse and share. Thank you I knew we were not all confused.
