Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide Mixing

"On the Mixing of Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide"

Substances in the world have their own characteristics. Baking soda, the name of the chemical sodium bicarbonate, is often found in daily use and is commonly used at home. Hydrogen peroxide, with strong oxidizing properties, is also a common chemical.

Today explore the beauty of mixing the two. Baking soda, mild in nature, can be alkaline in water. Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, often shows its ability to oxidize. When the two meet, the reaction is quite wonderful.

Or someone asks, what can be caused by the mixing of the two? At first, baking soda is added to the liquid of hydrogen peroxide, which seems to be no big difference, but when you look at it carefully, you can see the gradual growth of microbubbles. This is because the two meet, triggering a chemical reaction. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, in the alkaline environment of baking soda, catalyzes the speed of its decomposition. Oxygen atoms break free from bondage, escape into bubbles, and rise in the liquid.

And the two are mixed, or they can have different functions. For cleaning, the mixed liquid can remove stains and has a good effect. Due to the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, the structure of stains can be broken, and the alkalinity of baking soda can also help decompose oil and other filth.

When mixing, you should also be cautious. The ratio of the two is different, and the intensity of the reaction is different. If the ratio is out of balance, or the reaction is too dramatic, too much gas will be produced, causing the pressure in the container to rise sharply, and there is a risk of rupture.

Therefore, if you want to mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide, you must first understand its properties and observe the proportion, so that you can make good use of its energy, obtain its benefits, and avoid its harm. This is also the way to explore the mixing of substances.
