Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidizing Agent
"On Hydrogen Peroxide as an Oxidant"
Hydrogen peroxide is also a chemical substance. It is often oxidized in various reactions, so it can be said to be an oxidizing agent.
Looking at its structure, hydrogen and oxygen are connected in a specific formula, and this structure gives it unique chemical energy. In case of oxidized substances, hydrogen peroxide easily releases oxygen atoms or active oxygen radicals, which have the power to seize electrons.
If it reacts with ferrous ions, ferrous ions are positive divalent and tend to lose electrons, while oxygen in hydrogen peroxide has the desire to gain electrons. When the two meet, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes ferrous ions into positive trivalent iron ions, and itself is reduced. This is a clear example of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent.
In the field of organic chemistry, hydrogen peroxide can oxidize unsaturated bonds and make them become oxygen-containing functional groups. This is because of its oxidation ability, it can break the original chemical bond and build a new structure.
In many chemical processes, and even biochemical reactions in living bodies, hydrogen peroxide often participates as an oxidizing agent. Its oxidation effect is either to generate the desired product or to promote the process of the reaction. It should also be used with caution. Because of its strong oxidizability, if it is improperly controlled, or it can cause an overreaction, it will cause unexpected changes. In short, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidation agent in various reactions due to its structure and chemistry, and its function in the field of chemistry is significant and cannot be ignored.
