Why is water harmless and hydrogen peroxide is poisionous given that both are compounds of hydrogen and oxygen?

Because the extra oxygen atom makes peroxide much more chemically reactive and unstable than water.


Why does yeast froth when put in peroxide?

Yeast froths when put in peroxide because the acidic nature of peroxide reacts chemically with the products of yeast, causing hydrogen to be given off and froth to fizz rapidly.

Why is it an exothermic reaction with liver and hydrogen peroxide?

It is an exothermic reaction because heat is given off.


Is hydrogen peroxide diluted in water good for your plants?

if hydrogen peroxide is given to a plant, its reaction would become acidic toward the plant. Which would then give the plant a downfall of growing.


Can human being drink deuterium dioxide?

Deuterium dioxide is D2O2 (deuterated hydrogen peroxide). Given that drinking Hydrogen peroxide in high conc. would kill you, I'm going to go ahead and say, No.


What is product when hydrogen abd oxygen react?

Given the energetics presented above, there is a strong thermochemical bias for the production of water over hydrogen peroxide when H2 and O2 are reacted together.


How do you prepare h2o9?

Given that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes easily into water and oxygen, H2O9 would probably not be possible to synthesize in real life.


If a bottle of hydrogen peroxide is labeled 10 volts what does this indicates?

Volume is the amount of oxygen that is contained in a given amount of peroxide. For example, 3% hydrogen peroxide is V10 or 10 volume, because it will release 10 times it's volume in oxygen. One pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide will release 10 pints of oxygen as it breaks down. Gee, now there is something to think about. Of course, V20 will release twice as much oxygen, 20 times its volume.


What is produced when hydrogen and oxygen react together?

Hydrogen and oxygen can react to produce water or hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is produced by a complicated process, but the overall equation is H2 + O2 ---> H2O2. Water is produced by the reaction of 2H2 + O2 --->2H2O.


What will happen if you give hydrogen peroxide to a cat and it does not vomit?

Generally, cats are only given hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting if they have eaten something poisonous. If this is the reason you gave it to your cat, you need to take your cat to a veterinarian right away. The hydrogen peroxide may have gotten the cat to vomit and therefore taken care of any immediate danger, but there could still be some poison in the cat's system, or even other damage depending on what it ate. Also, hydrogen peroxide is given to cats in very small amounts. You would need to put it in a lot of water to be safe for your pet. If you accidentally gave your cat too much, this could be just as dangerous as poison. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, and can cause damage to membranes in an animal's stomach, resulting in internal bleeding. It can also cause blistering, stomach pain, diarrhea, and further vomiting. If this is the case, your cat still needs taken to a veterinarian promptly.To summarize, if your cat is still showing symptoms of any kind after this, it needs to be taken to a veterinarian. This should be done any time a cat ingests something toxic, if that is why you gave it the hydrogen peroxide. If it is not the reason, and your cat is still showing symptoms, it is most likely caused by the hydrogen peroxide itself. Either situation is dangerous for your cat, and it needs immediate care.


How do you calculate the active oxygen content of peroxy acids?

According to the IMDG 2.5.3.2.1 The available oxygen content (%) of an organic peroxide formulation is given by the formula 16 x Σ(ni x ci/mi) Where ni = number of peroxygen groups per molecule of organic peroxide i ci = concentration (mass %) or organic peroxide i; mi = molecular mass of organic peroxide i.
