Why Hydrogen Peroxide Bubbles in Ear
On the cause of hydrogen peroxide foaming in the ear
When hydrogen peroxide enters the ear, it often foams. Everyone is surprised and wants to find out the reason. The reason for this is really related to the beauty of chemical reactions.
The nature of hydrogen peroxide is inherently lively. Its chemical formula is\ (H_ {2} O_ {2}\), and the molecular structure contains a peroxide bond, which is unstable and easy to break and decompose. When hydrogen peroxide drops into the ear canal, it encounters many substances in the ear canal, which is like a fire-inducing medium, triggering a reaction.
In the ear canal, there are various enzymes, especially catalase. This enzyme has a miraculous catalytic power and can accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by it to decompose into water and oxygen. The chemical equation is as follows:\ (2H_ {2} O_ {2}\ stackrel {catalase }{=\!=\!=} 2H_ {2} O + O_ {2}\ uparrow\).
Oxygen escapes from the solution and forms tiny bubbles, which is the scene of hydrogen peroxide foaming in the ear. And the ear canal environment is warm and moist, providing a suitable temperature and humidity for the reaction, which is more conducive to the reaction.
Furthermore, if the ear canal is inflamed or damaged, more substances that can interact with hydrogen peroxide will be released, which will intensify the reaction and make the bubbles more abundant.
To sum up, hydrogen peroxide foaming in the ear is caused by its own chemical activity, which is decomposed to produce oxygen under the catalysis of the ear canal environment and enzymes and other substances. If the world understands this, it will have more insight into daily chemical phenomena, and it will also be able to have a more correct understanding of things such as health care.
