Stoichiometric Combinations
Compounds

containing elements combined in distinct ratios are often formed in daily life reactions

H2O2 and H2O

Both

compounds occur in nature However, water is relatively stable

How

does hydrogen peroxide form?

Think about marriages

All

of them are not equally stable Why?

Hydrogen

peroxide (H2O2) is formed when lightning strikes. will decompose on exposure to light, dust, or metal.

Combustion Revisited

Flames

Incomplete combustion
Incomplete

combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced along with carbon dioxide.
hydrocarbon + oxygen carbon monoxide + carbon + water

 The

carbon is released as soot. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas.

Gas

fires and boilers must be serviced regularly to ensure they do not produce carbon monoxide.
