HydrogenPeroxideAndBleachOxygenReaction

On the Method of Producing Oxygen by Hydrogen Peroxide and Bleach
If you want to know whether hydrogen peroxide and bleach can produce oxygen, you need to understand. Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, its reactivity can be decomposed under suitable conditions. Bleach components mostly contain hypochlorite, etc., which meet hydrogen peroxide or initiate a reaction.

When the two are mixed, the valence state of oxygen atoms in hydrogen peroxide is variable. Some components in bleach either act as catalysts for the reaction or directly participate in the reaction. The mechanism of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide lies in the instability of the peroxide bond in its molecular structure. Under the action of bleach, the peroxide bond breaks and the oxygen atoms rearrange.

Some oxygen atoms combine in pairs to form oxygen molecules to escape. During the reaction, there may be heat changes or other by-products are produced. This reaction is not a simple addition, but a recombination of atoms between molecules. In order to make the reaction happen efficiently, it is necessary to control the temperature and the amount. Due to the high temperature, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is too fast, or the reaction is out of control; the proportion of the two amounts is improper, which also affects the efficiency of oxygen generation.

Therefore, when hydrogen peroxide is mixed with bleach, oxygen can indeed be generated. However, it is necessary to study the reaction conditions in detail and observe the reaction process carefully in order to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm.
