Metal peroxides are metal-containing compounds with ionically- or covalently-bonded peroxide (O2−2) groups. This large family of compounds can be divided into ionic and covalent peroxide. The first class mostly contains the peroxides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals whereas the covalent peroxides are represented by such compounds as hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfuric acid (H2SO5). In contrast to the purely ionic character of alkali metal peroxides, peroxides of transition metals have a more covalent character. (Wikipedia).
Making Calcium Peroxide (CaO2)
In today’s video we are making calcium peroxide from sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride and hydrogen peroxide. Calcium peroxide is an oxidizing agent and it could be used to make oxygen by simply heating it. Our yield was low but we managed to make some. Just to put it somewhere: the produ
