The HP reduces, that is loses an oxygen when exposed to silver screen. The
action is it react with the silver producing silver oxide, then reacts with the
silver oxide producing free oxygen and returning the silver oxide back to pure
silver again. Since you end back up with silver again, it is c
If you spray pure HP over a silver grid in a chamber with one end open, you get a rocket engine.
Er, doesn't that mean the silver is a catalytic reducer of HP? [Take that to say what I mean rather than mean what I said...oxidizing and reducing sometimes comes out logically backwards for me]

H2O2 is both an oxidizer and reducer with silver.
2Ag + H2O2 -> Ag2O + H2O
Ag2O H2O2 -> 2Ag + H2O + O2
That is why silver is considered a catalyst, H2O2 will evolve it's
oxygen with most of the silver returning back to metallic silver in the
process. That is also why when added to EIS, the tynd
It seems to me that adding peroxide (a strong oxidizer) to a free metal
suspension, it would simply oxidize an amount of silver to silver oxide a black
compound.
