Hydrogen Peroxide Evaporation at Room Temperature
On the volatilization of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature
Hydrogen peroxide is also a chemical substance with active properties. It is often doubted whether hydrogen peroxide can volatilize at room temperature?
The volatilization of substances is related to its physical and chemical properties. The boiling point of hydrogen peroxide is higher than that of ordinary room temperature, but it may also evaporate at room temperature.
The physical principle of the view is that the molecule is always in thermal motion. When the hydrogen peroxide molecule is at room temperature, some of it obtains enough energy to break free from the attractive force between the molecules and escape from the liquid surface, which is the beginning of volatilization. Although the room temperature does not reach its boiling point, the thermal motion of the molecule is uneven, and there are always some high-energy molecules that can evaporate.
From a chemical point of view, hydrogen peroxide is unstable and easily decomposes into water and oxygen. This decomposition process also occurs slowly at room temperature. The gas produced by the decomposition accelerates the diffusion of hydrogen peroxide molecules to the surrounding environment and indirectly promotes its volatilization.
However, the volatilization rate of hydrogen peroxide is affected by many factors. Air circulation is one of them. If the air circulation is good, the escaping hydrogen peroxide molecules are quickly carried away and volatilization is accelerated; otherwise, it is slow. Environmental humidity also plays a role. When the humidity is high, water molecules fill the surrounding area, or inhibit the escape of hydrogen peroxide molecules, which slows down the volatilization.
In summary, hydrogen peroxide does evaporate at room temperature, and its volatilization process is influenced by physical and chemical factors, and the rate varies depending on environmental conditions.
