Hydrogen Peroxide and Alcohol

On hydrogen peroxide and alcohol

The physical properties of the world are different, and their functions are also unique. Today, both hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are common chemicals, but their properties and uses are much to be investigated.

Hydrogen peroxide, its color is clear, like water. The chemical formula shows its atoms containing hydrogen and oxygen, with specific proportions. Its nature is active, and it often changes when exposed to objects. In the field of medicine, it is often used for disinfection and sterilization. It can decompose and release new oxygen, which has strong oxidizing power, can kill bacteria, remove filth, and protect human health.

As for alcohol, it is mostly a genus of ethanol. The smell is fragrant and volatile. It is cool to the touch and dry in an instant. It is also a commonly used thing for disinfection, which can coagulate the protein of germs and cause them to be inactivated, so as to achieve the effect of sterilization. In life, medical alcohol is used to clean wounds, and it can also be used to wipe utensils in daily life to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Although both can sterilize, their uses are also different. The power of hydrogen peroxide lies in oxidation, which can often overcome stubborn stains and germs. The effect of alcohol, focusing on protein coagulation, is quite effective in disinfecting and sterilizing general germs. And alcohol evaporates quickly, and there is no residue after drying; after hydrogen peroxide decomposes, the residual water and oxygen are also harmless.

When using it, be careful. Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to a certain extent. If it touches the skin, it may cause discomfort. Alcohol is flammable, and near fire it is dangerous. Therefore, when using these two, you must follow the law and understand its nature, so as to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm.

In short, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol have made great contributions to life medicine. Careful study of physical properties and good use can ensure hygiene, health, and good products for the world.
