Tell Me About Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is also a chemical substance. Its formula is H _ 2O _ 2, which is normally a colorless and transparent liquid with weak acidity.

It has strong oxidizing properties, which is a significant characteristic. It can be used as an oxidizing agent and plays an important role in many chemical reactions. In case of reducing agent, it can often show its oxidation ability, which increases the valence state of the substance.

It is also unstable, and it can be easily decomposed into water and oxygen when heated or exposed to catalysts. This decomposition property is widely used in industry and laboratories. If manganese dioxide is used as a catalyst, it can accelerate its decomposition and easily produce oxygen.

It has many uses. In the medical field, it is often used as a disinfectant, which can kill a variety of germs, and can break the structure of microorganisms due to its oxidizing properties. In industry, it can be used for bleaching, such as the bleaching process of pulp and fabrics, to help make their color whiter. It is also used in wastewater treatment to decompose harmful pollutants and purify the water environment.

However, when using it, it should be done with caution. Because of its oxidizing properties, it comes into contact with skin and eyes, or causes burns. Storage should also be properly protected from heat, light, and a cool place to prevent decomposition.
