Oxygen exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties. In this lab, oxygen will be generated as a product of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A catalyst is used to speed up the rate of the decomposition reaction, which would otherwise be too slow to use as a source of oxygen. The catalyst does not get consumed by the reaction, and can be collected for re-use once the reaction is complete.

It covers volume-volume stoichiometry based on Avogadro's hypothesis, showing that equal gas volumes under identical conditions contain equal particle numbers. An example illustrates calculating the required oxygen volume for propane combustion and the resultant carbon dioxide volume, highlighting the importance of keeping pressure and temperature consistent in gas volume considerations.
