In chemistry, peroxycarbonate (sometimes peroxocarbonate) is a divalent anion with formula CO2−4. It is an oxocarbon anion that consists solely of carbon and oxygen. It would be the anion of a hypothetical HO–CO–O–OH. or the real hydroperoxyformic acid, HO-O-CO-OH (a.k.a. percarbonic acid, carbonoperoxoic acid). The peroxycarbonate anion is formed, together with peroxydicarbonate C2O2−6, at the negative electrode during electrolysis of molten lithium carbonate. can be produced also by combining carbon dioxide CO2 with lithium hydroxide in concentrated hydrogen peroxide H2O2 at −10 °C. Electrolysis of a solution of lithium carbonate at -30° to -40 °C yields a solution of the Lithium percarbonate, which can liberate iodine from potassium iodide instantaneously. The crystalline salt has not been isolated. The peroxycarbonate anion has been proposed as an intermediate to explain the catalytic effect of CO2 on the oxidation of organic compounds by O2. The potassium and rubidium salts of the monovalent hydrogenperoxocarbonate anion H–O–O–CO−2 have also been obtained. (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

Epoxidation of Alkenes - DMDO, mCPBA, & NaOCl (IOC 26)
In this episode, I discuss the epoxidation of electron-rich and electron-poor olefins, using peracids, DMDO, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). *Note: for some reason, I didn't manage to pronounce MMPP correctly; it's full name is magnesium monoperoxyphthalate. *WARNING*

What is polycarbonate and what is it used for?
From wiki: Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Wikipedia L

Glycerol and Potassium Permanganate
When glycerol and dry potassium permanaganate are added together, an extremely exothermic reaction occurs. The potassium permanaganate is an extremely strong oxidizer and it completely oxidizes the glycerol to water and carbon dioxide.
