Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach Reaction
On the Reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach
Hydrogen peroxide is mixed with bleach, and its change can be investigated. Both are common chemical agents, but when combined, accidents occur.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, and its molecular formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, which is an important reactant in many chemical processes. Bleach, there are many types, common ones contain hypochlorite, and it also has strong oxidizing power.
When the two meet, the reaction is intense. Hydrogen peroxide meets hypochlorite in bleach, and it often changes in redox. The valence state of chlorine in hypochlorite is variable, and it meets hydrogen peroxide, or accelerates the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can be self-decomposed into water and oxygen, but the existence of bleach makes this process abrupt.
Looking at the essence of the reaction, the valence state of the oxygen atom of hydrogen peroxide may rise or fall, and the valence state of chlorine may also change. This change is often accompanied by the release of heat, and may generate a new substance with strong oxidizing properties. The new substance may be a more active oxidant, and its oxidizing power may be greater than that of hydrogen peroxide and bleach alone.
And the product produced by this reaction may be toxic. The resulting gas may have a pungent smell, and if inhaled inadvertently, it will hurt the body's breathing. Mixing the two in a laboratory or household setting is not a wise move.
Therefore, those who use chemical agents must understand their properties and understand the reasons for their reactions. Do not mix hydrogen peroxide and bleach rashly to avoid accidents, causing harm to the body and damage to the material. When using scientific methods, use and store them to ensure safety.
