Hydrogen Peroxide Order

On the order of hydrogen peroxide
The biochemistry of heaven and earth, everything is normal, in the way of chemistry, the order of hydrogen peroxide is quite important.

Hydrogen peroxide has a unique molecular structure, which is cleverly combined with hydrogen and oxygen. Looking at its composition, hydrogen dioxides are accompanied by twins, but they are active and unusual binary compounds.

The order of hydrogen peroxide is first in the order of its chemical properties. In the state of oxidation and reduction, it is often a strong oxidizing agent. In the case of reducing agents, oxygen atoms gain electrons, and the valence state decreases, showing its oxidation energy. This oxidation order follows the rules of chemical potentials and depends on the difficulty of gaining and losing electrons of the substance. When it encounters ferrous ions, ferrous ions lose electrons, oxygen in hydrogen peroxide gains electrons, ferrous ions raise their valence, and hydrogen peroxide is reduced to water. This is an orderly change in redox.

Furthermore, the decomposition sequence of hydrogen peroxide cannot be ignored. It is itself unstable, and it is easy to decompose and release oxygen under the promotion of photothermal or catalyst. This decomposition sequence is mainly due to the breaking and recombination of chemical bonds within the molecule. First, the peroxygen bond is broken, and the oxygen-oxygen bond is unstable. Then it breaks into two, each carrying electrons, and then recombines with hydrogen atoms to generate water and oxygen. This process proceeds in sequence according to the energy change and reaction rate.

From the perspective of the reaction conditions, temperature, concentration, and catalyst are all factors that affect the reaction of hydrogen peroxide. When the temperature increases, the molecular movement intensifies, and the reaction rate increases; when the concentration increases, the chance of reactant collision increases, and the reaction activity increases; and the addition of catalysts can change the reaction path, reduce the activation energy of the reaction, and make the reaction occur in an orderly manner according to the best path under specific conditions.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide has an inherent order in the chemical change, and its reaction, decomposition, and influence by conditions. Only by following this order can we understand its chemical mysteries, make good use of it, and exert its effects in many fields such as industrial production and medical disinfection.
