Sodium Chloride Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction
On the reaction between sodium chloride and hydrogen peroxide
The things in the world have different properties. When they meet, they become phase-transformed and metamorphose. In this case, the reaction between sodium chloride ($NaCl $) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_ {2} O_ {2} $), the two meet, and the situation is quite delicate.
Sodium chloride, a common salt, is also easy to dissociate into sodium ions ($Na ^ {+} $) and chloride ions ($Cl ^{-}$）， properties are relatively stable. Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, has oxidizing and reducing properties. The valence state of oxygen is -1, which is in the intermediate valence state, so it can not only gain electrons and be reduced, but also lose electrons and be oxidized.
When sodium chloride meets hydrogen peroxide, under normal conditions, without other catalysts or special environments, the reaction between the two is not significant. It is difficult for ions of sodium chloride to directly react with hydrogen peroxide molecules in redox or other types of effective reactions.
However, if placed in a specific scenario, such as the presence of certain metal ions as catalysts, the situation is different. For example, if there are transition metal ions such as iron ions ($Fe ^ {3 +} $) or copper ions ($Cu ^ {2 +} $) in the system, hydrogen peroxide will decompose rapidly due to the action of the catalyst, resulting in water ($H_ {2} O $) and oxygen ($O_ {2} $). Although sodium chloride does not directly participate in this core decomposition reaction, its existence in the system will affect the physicochemical properties such as the ionic strength of the solution, or indirectly affect the rate and path of hydrogen peroxide decomposition.
From a microscopic perspective, the structure of hydrogen peroxide molecules is $H-O-O-H $, and its intramolecular peroxide bonds ($-O-O-$) are unstable. When there is a suitable catalyst, the peroxide bond is easily broken, triggering a series of reactions. The ions dissociated by sodium chloride, although not directly bonding with hydrogen peroxide, participate as bystanders, changing the microscopic environment of the system and affecting the collision frequency and energy transfer between molecules.
In summary, the reaction between sodium chloride and hydrogen peroxide is relatively peaceful under normal conditions, but under specific conditions, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide changes, and sodium chloride also plays a subtle role in it, affecting the process and results of the entire chemical process.
