The reaction of NaI and H2O2 can be represented as follows:-
4NaI(aq) +2H2O2(aq)---->2Na2O(s)+ 4HI(l) + O2(g)
The liquid product is a solution. The iodine is one of the solutes within the solution.
Use an Oxidizer, such as acidified Hydrogen peroxide, acidified Potassium permanganate, Sulfuric acid (concentrated), etc.
peroxide is better
White or "decolorized" iodine is the original product. The most common use of iodine is to sanitize an area of the body prior to performing surgery. The "colorized" iodine allows the surgeon assurance that the proper area is sterilized. Since there is little demand for white iodine, it is difficut to find. White iodine is a salt such as potassium iodide which is clear like table salt. If you put it on your skin, it will be clear, but if you add a little hydrogen peroxide on your skin, it will turn the characteristic orange color of iodine because the iodide will be converted to elemental iodine.
Otherwise a solvent is stated, a solution of iodine contains only iodine molecules.
Iodine crystals
The liquid product is a solution. The iodine is one of the solutes within the solution.
Hydrogen Peroxide, at a strength of 3 - 6% is one antiseptic, as is a solution of Iodine. Chlorine is commonly used to disinfect swimming pool water, and sometimes bromine is used as a substitute.
Yes, you can but if you put a cotton swab in this mixture, it will turn purple.
It would produce a solution of iodine.
If you are allergic to iodine you can use hydrogen peroxide, hurts less than rubbing alcohol. If those bother you then use an antibacterial soap, however hydrogen peroxide is better.
Tincture of Iodine. A "tincture" is a solution made by dissolving a solid product into alcohol.
Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that is sometimes made in our cells due to some chemical reactions. It is poisonous so cells produce an enzyme called 'Catalase' which break down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Because catalase is in our blood, if hydrogen peroxide is added to it, it breaks down: Blood + H2 O2(hydrogen peroxide) --changes to-- H2O (water) + O2 (oxygen).
Use an Oxidizer, such as acidified Hydrogen peroxide, acidified Potassium permanganate, Sulfuric acid (concentrated), etc.
benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine, hexachlorophine, iodine compounds, mercury compounds, alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen Peroxide. As a sufferer of Hidradenitis Supperitiva, I have been using Peroxide for 4 years now. The best part about it, is that it doesn't burn when it is wiped on an open wound. It is very safe to use.
