Technical Note: Oxygen can be generated by using 30% hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2). It is vital that you give 30% H2O2 your highest level of safety consciousness;
it is a very hazardous substance.
Set up the apparatus to create a gas generator. A 250-mL flask, a two-hole
rubber stopper, a delivery tube and a dropping funnel will be required. A
