Mixing Hydrogen Peroxide and Rubbing Alcohol Reaction

On the change of mixing hydrogen peroxide and medical alcohol
There are things in the world, called hydrogen peroxide, and medical alcohol. If the two are mixed, how geometric does it change? Everyone wants to know, so it is detailed here.

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing substance. Medical alcohol, mostly a solution of ethanol, is often used for disinfection and sterilization. When the two meet, a chemical reaction occurs.

At the beginning, the oxygen atom of hydrogen peroxide is active and wants to seize electrons from others. In ethanol, carbon and hydrogen can lose electrons and respond to it. The response is also very complex. The oxygen atom combines with the carbon and hydrogen of ethanol to form water, carbon dioxide and other substances.

Looking at the process, the gas is effervescent, which is caused by the reaction to produce gas. And there is thermal generation, and the temperature of the system gradually rises, which is the thermal effect of chemical reactions. Between reactions, the smell also changes, or there is pungent gas emitted, all due to the nature of the new organism.

The change of mixing the two is a redox reaction in the sense of chemistry. It should not be careless in the way of practicality. Mixing the two not only reduces the power of disinfection, but also the resulting things may be harmful. If used inadvertently, it may hurt the body and damage the utensils.

Therefore, when using things, be aware of their nature, be careful to operate them, and do not act rashly in ignorance, causing unexpected changes. In this way, one can obtain the benefits of things and avoid the harm of things.
