3 Hydrogen Peroxide properties uses safety

When it comes to hydrogen peroxide
hydrogen peroxide, it is also a chemical substance. Its chemical formula is\ (H_ {2} O_ {2}\). In terms of hydrogen peroxide, its properties, use and safety can be investigated.

Properties
hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, which is its important property. In case of reducing agent, it is easy to release new oxygen and cause oxidation reaction. It can be partially ionized in water and is weakly acidic. And when heated or exposed to catalysts, it is easy to decompose and generate water and oxygen, such as\ (2H_ {2} O_ {2}\ stackrel {MnO_ {2 }}{=\!=\! =} 2H_ {2} O + O_ {2}\ uparrow\). In addition, pure hydrogen peroxide is a colorless and transparent liquid, with a certain viscosity, and can be miscible with water in any ratio.

Use
for medical treatment, with disinfection and sterilization ability. It can clear wounds, kill common bacteria, and prevent infection. In industry, in the paper industry, it can bleach pulp and make paper white; in the textile industry, it can bleach and dye fabrics. In chemical synthesis, it is used as a raw material or oxidant, and participates in many organic synthesis reactions. In the environmental field, it can handle sewage and reduce pollutants, such as removing certain harmful inorganic and organic substances.

Safe
Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive and can cause burns when it comes into contact with the skin. If it is accidentally touched, it should be rinsed with a lot of water quickly, and the serious person should seek medical attention. Its decomposition produces oxygen, and in a confined space, it is easy to cause pressure to rise, and there is a risk of explosion. Storage needs to be protected from heat, light and catalysts, and placed in a cool and ventilated place. When using, operate according to regulations, and prepare protection, such as wearing gloves, goggles, etc., to ensure personal and environmental safety.

To sum up, only by understanding the properties, uses and safety of hydrogen peroxide can it be used well to avoid its harm and make it effective in various fields.
