Rubbing Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide Similarities
The similarities and differences between ethanol and hydrogen peroxide
Both ethanol and hydrogen peroxide are commonly used chemicals in the world. Both have extraordinary effects in the field of disinfection and sterilization. Ethanol, mild in nature, is often applied to the surface of the skin in a solution of a certain concentration, which can kill common pathogens and prevent their reproduction. The reason for its action is to coagulate and denature the protein of the pathogen, causing its vitality to die.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, and can decompose new oxygen when exposed to organic matter. This oxygen is abnormally active and can break the structure of pathogens and cause them to die. When the wound is disinfected, foam can be seen surging, which is caused by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
The similarity between the two is that they are both good agents for disinfection. And both are common in liquid form, easy to access and administer. However, there are also differences. The effect of ethanol is relatively mild, and it is mostly used for general skin disinfection. And hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation. In addition to being used for wounds, it can also be used for disinfection of the environment and items. However, due to its strong oxidation, it should be used with caution on delicate skin, otherwise it will easily hurt the skin.
The two of them have their own strengths. If they are used properly, they can both be used as a weapon to protect health and prevent diseases.
