Carbamide Peroxide vs Hydrogen Peroxide
"On the Differences between Percarbonamide and Hydrogen Peroxide"
Percarbonamide and hydrogen peroxide, both of which involve chemical substances, but their properties and uses are really different.
Hydrogen peroxide, its molecular formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, is a common strong oxidant. Colorless and transparent liquid, strong oxidizing, can slowly decompose at room temperature, accelerated by heat, light or catalyst, releasing oxygen. Often used as a disinfectant, it can kill many germs and is widely used in the medical field, such as wound disinfection. It is also used in chemical production as an oxidant to produce a variety of compounds.
Carbonamide is an adduct formed by the reaction of urea and hydrogen peroxide. The molecular formula is $CO (NH_ {2}) _ {2} · H_ {2} O_ {2} $. The appearance is mostly white crystalline powder, which is more stable than hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can be slowly released in water, and then play the role of oxidation and disinfection. In agriculture, it can be used as a slow-release oxygen source and nitrogen fertilizer to supply nitrogen to crops and increase soil oxygen content; in the field of daily chemical, it is often used as a tooth whitening agent, because it can slowly release oxygen and help remove dental stains.
In terms of stability, hydrogen peroxide is easy to decompose at room temperature and needs to be properly stored in a cool and dark place; percarbonamide is relatively stable, making it easier to store and transport. From the perspective of oxidative strength, hydrogen peroxide is directly highly oxidizing, and percarbonamide needs to release hydrogen peroxide to show its effect. Therefore, in the scenario of immediate strong oxidation demand, hydrogen peroxide is better; if lasting and mild oxidation is required, percarbonamide is better.
In summary, although both percarbonamide and hydrogen peroxide contain oxygen and have the ability to oxidize, their properties, uses and characteristics are different due to structural differences. When applying, it should be carefully screened to suit the needs.
