Things to Avoid Mixing with Hydrogen Peroxide
On things that hydrogen peroxide should not be mixed with
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and is active. When used, many substances should be avoided from mixing to prevent unexpected changes.
The first word is acid. Acid and hydrogen peroxide may react violently when met. Strong acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc. are mixed with hydrogen peroxide, which can stimulate its oxidation to be abnormal and easily induce the risk of explosion. Capsulic acid can change the chemical balance, promote the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, release a large amount of oxygen and heat energy, and accumulate energy in an instant, causing a crisis.
Secondary and organic compounds. Such as alcohols, ethers, hydrocarbons, etc. Hydrogen peroxide encounters these substances and is prone to oxidation reactions. The structure of organic molecules is broken, or it burns or explodes. Take ethanol as an example, mixed with hydrogen peroxide, under certain conditions, it can be rapidly oxidized, causing a sudden fire and endangering the neighbors.
Then there are metals and their salts. Some metals such as iron, copper, manganese, etc., their elemental substances or salts can be used as catalysts for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Although metal catalysis can be used for specific chemical processes, in daily or improper environments, this catalytic action is out of control, hydrogen peroxide decomposes rapidly, oxygen is released rapidly, and the pressure increases sharply, causing disasters such as container rupture.
has alkaline substances. Although hydrogen peroxide is weakly acidic, it encounters with alkali, neutralizes acid and base, or causes other complex reactions. Strongly alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide, mixed with hydrogen peroxide, affect its stability, accelerate decomposition, and cause the reaction heat or cause the temperature of the system to rise sharply, leading to safety risks.
In summary, when using hydrogen peroxide, it is necessary to carefully check its phase with other substances, avoid the above kinds of mixing, so as to ensure safety and use it properly.
