Best Answer

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 which has a ratio of oxygen to hydrogen of 1:1 (one to one).

And yes, the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is 2:2 as one can see, but that can be reduced to obtain the 1:1 ratio.

The ratios above are the number of atoms of each substance, Oxygen has a molecular mass that is 16 times greater than hydrogen so the mass ratio is 16:1

I have tried it for cleaning grout around tiles and it seems to work well. I don't know if its just the powdered ajax bleach alone or both combined but it does do a good job. If you let it sit 10 minutes and scrub the grout and let it sit another 5 minutes and wash it clean, it almost removes all the old stains out of light colored grout lines.

HOOH + NaOCl ---------> H2O + NaCl + O2

I mole of hydrogen peroxide reacts with 1 mole of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to form 1 mole each of sodium chloride, water, and diatomic oxygen gas.

Macroscopically there will be a large release of oxygen gas, potentially hazardous if the release is too quick
