What is hydrogen peroxide
Mar 28, 2023
Hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O2. Pure hydrogen peroxide is a light blue viscous liquid that can be miscible with water in any proportion. It is a strong oxidant. The aqueous solution is commonly known as hydrogen peroxide, and is a colorless transparent liquid.
Its aqueous solution is suitable for medical wound disinfection, environmental disinfection, and food disinfection. Under normal circumstances, it will slowly decompose into water and oxygen, but the decomposition speed is extremely slow. The way to accelerate its reaction speed is to add catalyst manganese dioxide, etc., or irradiate it with short-wave radiation.
