The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around.
When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).
H2O2 --> H2O + O2 The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around.

H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Peroxide will bubble even if no infection is present.
Blood and most living cells contain the enzyme catalase. Catalase attacks hydrogen peroxide, making water and oxygen (O2), e.g. the fizz. Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the oldest antiseptics, through agitation of cells--- it kills both bacteria AND healthy cells. THAT is why you should use only a small amount, and not very often, unless directed by a physician.
It turns the H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) into water and oxygen gas - those are the bubbles
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form oxygen gas which is the cause of bubbling.
the proteins in the blood the proteins in the blood
When hydrogen peroxide bubbles when its pored on an open wound, is because it is cleaning out all of the germs and infection.
Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Catalase is found in blood and bacteria in the wound. The bubbles you see are from the oxygen that is being released.
yes
The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.
the proteins in the blood the proteins in the blood
Catalase is the protein that catalyzes the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide to diatomic Hydrogen and Oxygen. Heat denatures or destroys proteins, so a boiled liver sample has denatured catalase proteins which can no longer perform their metabolic function.
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
The platinum acts as catalyst and causes the hydrogen peroxide to decompose into water and oxygen.

Yes, it would bubble because the bubbles are the result of the breakdown of two hydrogen peroxide molecules into oxygen and two water molecules.
Hydrogen peroxide is a teeth whitener, google "hydrogen peroxide teeth."
Hydrogen is an element.Hydrogen peroxide is a compound.
hydrogen+peroxide
I think Hydrogen Peroxide is a reactant,because hydrogen and oxygen are reactants so hydrogen peroxide should be a reactant.
