How should you dispose of hydrogen Peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide will not damage your plumbing, so you are free to pour it down the drain.
What type of reaction does catalase do?
Catalase is an enzyme which breaks down hydrogen peroxide
What is the effect of hydrogen peroxide in the human body?
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent. It can cause severe cell damage. However, in low concentrations, while it's devastating to bacteria it doesn't hurt human cells much, because human cells have an enzyme known as peroxidase which is able to safely decompose hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water.
How do you bleach a white silk scarf?
Do not bleach. Chlorine bleach will dissolve silk. Hydrogen peroxide will also damage silk. Take to the dry cleaner and praY!
If I put hydrogen peroxide on my hand and after it dries I licked my hand is this bad?
The amount of hydrogen peroxide you would consume under these circumstances in minimal and not anything to worry about. The trace amount (if any) you'd get from licking your hand after it had dried should be safe.Concentrated hydrogen peroxide is unstable and will severely damage skin on contact (it can also explode), so don't mess around with that, and never drink even dilute (3-5%) hydrogen peroxide, but it's not much of a health hazard in part per million quantities they way, say, cyanide is. It's also, as mentioned, unstable and degrades to water and oxygen fairly quickly in the environment. It's sometimes used as an eco-friendly alternative to chlorine in water purification for that reason.

Does hydrogen peroxide help disinfect a deep cut?
You are never to put hydrogen peroxide on a deep cut or wound, as it could possibly damage tissue and cause loss of sensation.
Why does Hydrogen peroxide need to be broken down?
Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful by-product of many normal metabolic processes: to prevent damage, it must be quickly converted into other, less dangerous substances.
Why is hydrogen peroxide used when sanitising plastic bottles before filling?
Hydrogen Peroxide is used to sterilize plastic bottles before they are filled because it kills any germs and will not damage the bottle. If other chemicals were used, it could damage the plastic or stay in the plastic and get into the liquid that is being put in the bottles.
What is a catalase?
Hello there! Catalase is a common enzyme found in organisms exposed to oxygen. It plays an important role in speeding up or catalysing, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and hydrogen. In this way, the enzyme protects you from the damage of free radicals like hydrogen peroxide. Hopefully, this helped you! 😊👍
The ship hull plating sustained minor damage to her?
If you are speaking about Marlins test, the answer is " The ship sustained minor damage damage to her hull plating"
How do you sterilize your bassoon reeds?
Letting your bassoon reeds soak in hydrogen peroxide cleans them pretty well and does no damage to the reed itself
How is hydrogen peroxide harmful?
Yes, and it's also corrosive and would do a lot of damage to the esophagus.Another opinion:While the above may be true for high concentration hydrogen peroxide, it bears noting the antiseptic one buys at the pharmacy is a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water. At this concentration, it's comparatively harmless, and it would take a huge dose to do any serious harm. In fact, I've seen hydrogen peroxide 3% prescribed as an oral mouthwash-antiseptic. And it would take an amazing amount to reach acute toxicity. That said, it's probably not a good idea to swallow the stuff. So, in answer to the question, small amounts of hydrogen peroxide can be consumed without significant harm (although -- once more -- this is not a good idea).
What type of reaction does catalase do?
Catalase is an enzyme which breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Example of how enzymes benefit humans?
a catalase is a type of enzyme in which it breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas in organs, it is mostly used inside the peroxisome of a cell, preventing the peroxide from causing damage to the cell
Can peroxide be used for water in ears?
It should be safe to mix Hydrogen Peroxide with water to produce a solution safe enough to put in your ear and remove earwax, but not damage your eardrum. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about the concentration.
What is the value of a 1959 silver penny?
The US mint never made cents out of silver. Most likely your coin has post-mint damage such as silver or chrome plating that makes your coin appear silver.
