Hydrogen Peroxide Left Open Shelf Life

On the effect of placing hydrogen peroxide open
Hydrogen peroxide is also a commonly used agent in chemistry. The world often doubts that if hydrogen peroxide is placed outside, its effect is geometric, and is it bad? This is a question about its practical use and storage.

Cover hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name is hydrogen peroxide, and its nature is lively. When placed in a closed place in a cool place without direct sunlight, its quality can be kept stable and effective. However, if it is exposed to the outside, it will come into contact with the outside air, and changes will occur.

The outside air contains all kinds of impurities and water vapor, and has oxygen and carbon dioxide. When hydrogen peroxide encounters it, its decomposition rate increases due to the moisture decomposition of water vapor, or the oxidation of oxygen, or the reaction of carbon dioxide. When hydrogen peroxide decomposes, it becomes water and oxygen, and its original strong oxidation and other characteristics are gradually lost.

As for the shelf life of exposed hydrogen peroxide, it is difficult to generalize. If it is in a clean, dry and temperature-appropriate environment, its quality will deteriorate slightly; if it is in a filthy, humid and temperature-changing place, its quality will deteriorate. Generally speaking, it can be as short as a few days, and it will only last for a few months.

Therefore, if you want to maintain the effect of hydrogen peroxide, it must be strictly sealed to avoid contact with external unfavorable factors, so that it can last for a long time and use its energy for a long time.
