Best Answer

By putting your finger in it and soaking it. [I don't think this will work unless you have an open cut ;) Catalase is an enzyme contained in blood, and it speeds up (catalyses) the decomposition of H2O2. A drop of blood is what you need - from you, or from a steak! It breaks down into water and oxygen]

The enzyme is catalase. It can exist without adding hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide simply activates the enzyme.

Chlorine bleach does not foam in the presence of blood. However, Hydrogen peroxide does. H2O2 is an oxidizer that can work as a bleach.

Does hydrogen peroxide foam on any substance?

No it only foams where bacteria and dirt is at on skin or other substances.


Does hydrogen peroxide stop foaming when all the infection is gone.?

The foam has nothing to do with infection. Your blood contains a chemical called peroxidase which breaks down peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide. This is what causes the foam. The reason hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant is that peroxides in general are very bad for living things. The thing that makes it even better is that you can tolerate it a lot better than bacteria can, because your cells can make peroxidase and unicellular organisms for the most part can't.


How do you know that the raw foods contained catalase?

When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water. The bubbles you see in the foam are pure oxygen bubbles being created by the catalase.


Does hydrogen peroxide blow up in water?

No. Hydrogen peroxide is usually dissolved in water to make it more stable. The peroxide you buy at the pharmacy is 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. Pure hydrogen peroxide, which is a dangerously strong oxidizer, can explosively decompose into water and oxygen.


Why does hydrogen peroxide foam with potatoes?

Catalase is an enzyme that is present in potatoes that catalyzes the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into H20 (water) and O2 (oxygen). This oxygen that is being formed in the enzymatic reaction is the cause for the bubbles that you see forming.


What elements make H2O2?

Hydrogen peroxide contain hydrogen and oxygen.


Is zonrox chlorox is a kind of hydrogen peroxide?
