Does Bleach Foam when Mixed with Blood?
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.
Why does hydrogen peroxide foam when you put it on a cut?
There is an enzyme in your body that breaks hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). These are gases that form bubbles in the water from the hydrogen peroxide and fluids from your body. The idea is that this cleans wounds by getting under the dirt and other particles before being broken down. Then the bubbles lift the dirt and grime out of the wound to wash them away easier.
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.
Can you clean the inner foam couch cushions with hydrogen peroxide after a cat has urinated on them to clean out the smell?
You would probably be better off replacing the foam. It is not an expensive item. You will also need to clean the outer cloth.
What happen when a raw potato is mixed with hydrogen peroxide?
The enzyme is catalase. It can exist without adding hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide simply activates the enzyme.

What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide powdered yeast and dishwashing liquid?
When the three chemicals are combined it creates a foam like substance which expands. This is a common experiment and can be easily created in your own house or in a science laboratory. It is often referred to as Elephants Toothpaste.
What happens when crushed potato was added to hydrogen peroxide?
There was a lot of foam because of the enzyme catalse that is in the potato.
Does hydrogen peroxide foam on any substance?
No it only foams where bacteria and dirt is at on skin or other substances.
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.
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 is the conclusion of elephant tooth paste?

What is the purpose of elephant tooth paste?
It is a chemical experiment using hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide, mixed with detergent and water. If you add all these together, the hydrogen peroxide's decomposition is sped up by the catalyst, potassium iodide. Oxygen is given off and forms foam with the detergent. The foam pushes up in the cylinder or test tube and comes out the top looking like toothpaste, hence elephant's toothpaste.
