Answer to Question #174648 in General Chemistry for Ammyy

Question

1.) Some chemicals, like hydrogen peroxide, are prone to decomposition by photocatalysis. How can you prevent photocatalysis?

2.) Can strong batteries in a cold place, such as refrigerator of freezer, help prolong life? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

1.Without electron acceptors, the limitation attributed to the recombination of pairs would reduce the photocatalytic efficiency and cause radiation energy loss.

2.It's partially true, but you're better off not doing it.To get technical for just one moment, batteries release energy because of a chemical reaction between two or more compounds stored inside.
