Hydrogen Peroxide and Oxygenated Water Difference

"On the Differences between Hydrogen Peroxide and Oxygen-enriched Water"

The world suspects that hydrogen peroxide and oxygen-enriched water are the same, but it is a big mistake. The difference between the two is significant and cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide, its chemical formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, has a unique molecular structure. It has strong oxidizing properties and is often used as an oxidant in many chemical reactions. When used in medicine, low concentrations can be used for wound disinfection, and its oxidative properties can kill bacteria. However, it is corrosive to a certain extent, and high concentrations are even more serious. Accidental contact with skin and mucous membranes can cause burns.

Oxygen-enriched water is essentially water that dissolves more oxygen. Its production is mostly through special technical means to integrate oxygen into the water. Oxygen-enriched water is mainly for human consumption, hoping to supplement oxygen for the human body. The oxygen it contains can be used by the body through a series of processes in the human digestive system.

In terms of chemical properties, hydrogen peroxide is chemically active and easily decomposes to produce oxygen and water. This decomposition process is often accompanied by heat release. Oxygen-enriched water is relatively stable. Only the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is higher than that of ordinary water, and its chemical properties are still similar to water.

In terms of use, hydrogen peroxide is mostly used in chemical production, medical disinfection and other fields. In the chemical industry, it often participates in oxidation reactions to prepare specific compounds. Oxygen-enriched water is mainly for the consumer market, providing beverage options for people who pursue health and want to supplement oxygen.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen-enriched water, regardless of their chemical properties or uses, are very different and must not be confused. The world should be discerning to avoid misuse and adverse consequences.
