Where does hydrogen peroxide come from in cells?
Peroxisomes
Why is peroxide called H2O2?
Peroxide is called H2O2 because it has two hydrogen molecules and two oxygen molecules that make up its composition. 2 positivly charged HYDOGEN atoms and 2 negitivly charged OXYGEN atoms come together and form H2O2
Does hydrogen peroxide come in powder form in a bottle?
No. Even pure hydrogen peroxide is a liquid. Pure H2O2 is not commercially available as it is extremely reactive, making it too dangerous for the general public.
Why does hydrogen peroxide usually come in dark colored bottles?
Mostly because it is sensitive to temperature changes and light, and will decompose back to water & oxygen if it is exposed too too high of temperatures or too much light. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, and will readily switch back to H2O and O2, both much more stable molecules.
Which elements come together to form water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen
Where does oxygen in water come from?
Water molecules are formed by the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
What is it called when hydrogen and oxygen come together and form water?
It is basically a form of combustion
Where do carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms come from to form glucose during photosynthesis?
They come from CO2 and Water. They are the raw materials
How do you remove stains from a carpet?
Depends on what it is. Hydrogen peroxide cleans up blood. Dab and blot. Anything else I pretty much use Fantastic with the oxygen booster in it. Spray it on, let it sit and come back maybe 15 minutes later and wipe well with a damp rag.
How come oxygen atoms easily combine with two hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen's high electronegativity draws the weaker electronegativity of hydrogen, so that oxygen's valance shell, needing two electrons to fill it attracts the electrons of two hydrogens.
How does a Hydrogen powered car work?
Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water and gives off energy in the process. This energy, mostly in the form of heat, can be used as an energy source. Hydrogen fuel cells are specialized to react the hydrogen and oxygen in an optimal way so that maximum energy can be harnessed. The source of the energy is the hydrogen gas that is synthesized in a lab, usually by the electrolysis of water (which means running electrical energy through water causing it to separate into oxygen and hydrogen gas). The energy used to create the hydrogen gas can come from many sources including fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, etc.
Does oxygen in the ocean come from the sun and the air?
no the oxygen from the ocean comes from two things algae and plants create oxygen through photosynthisis and water is made mostly of oxygen and a bit of hydrogen
