Hydrogen Peroxide Bubble Reasons

On the cause of hydrogen peroxide bubbling
The world has the appearance of hydrogen peroxide, and it often bubbles when it encounters objects. Everyone is surprised and wants to study the reason.

Hydrogen peroxide is active and has a unique molecular structure. The reason for its bubbling is first catalysis. If it encounters metal oxides, such as manganese dioxide, this is a strong catalyst. The surface of manganese dioxide has a special activity check point, and the hydrogen peroxide molecule touches it. If it is guided, the chemical bonds in the molecule change rapidly. The oxygen-oxygen bond is stable, but it is easy to break when it encounters catalysis. The oxygen atoms merge in two phases, form oxygen and escape, and bubble in the liquid.

Furthermore, the role of enzymes cannot be ignored. In living organisms, there is catalase. This enzyme acts exclusively on hydrogen peroxide, which is like a lock and key. The active center of the enzyme cooperates with hydrogen peroxide, which greatly changes the reaction conditions, and the originally slow reaction accelerates instantaneously. Hydrogen peroxide quickly decomposes into water and oxygen, and bubbles gush out of the liquid, like a spring.

Changes in temperature are also related to bubbling. When the temperature increases, the thermal motion of molecules intensifies. Hydrogen peroxide molecules gain more energy, increase their activity, and collide frequently and powerfully between molecules. Chemical bonds are more fragile, and the generation of oxygen is fast, and the potential for bubbling is prosperous. On the contrary, when the temperature drops, the molecules are lazy, slow to react, and bubbling is thin.

The concentration is also important, and it should not be forgotten. When the concentration is high, the number of hydrogen peroxide molecules is large, and the reaction probability per unit volume is greatly increased. Like in a sea of people, there are many encounters, the reaction is frequent, and the bubbles come out one after another. If the concentration is low, there are few molecules, the reaction opportunity is small, and the bubbling is sparse.

In summary, catalysis, enzymatic stimulation, temperature, and concentration are all intertwined to make hydrogen peroxide bubble like life. The world knows this, and it can be used in the fields of chemical industry, medicine, and biology to benefit all things.
