Because carbon and iodine elements have same electronegativities and after formation of free radicals, mobility of carbon free radical is much higher than iodine free radical. So carbon free radical can easily attack to form more stable free radical with the substrate. Secondly, due to larger size iodine free radical can easily dimerize to give iodine molecule. Hence, we can not observe peroxide effect

Why peroxide effect is not observed in HCl and HF and HCl?

with HCl the reaction is endothermic and homolysis of HCl does not occur as the effect follows free radical mechanism. The homolysis of HI occurs but the i radical forms iodine molecule and also it's activation energy is high.


What is the enzymatic effects of materials on hydrogen peroxide?

Materials can act as catalysts to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Enzymes like catalase and peroxidase found in living organisms facilitate this reaction, speeding up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. This enzymatic effect helps protect cells from damage caused by hydrogen peroxide accumulation.


What happens when sodium peroxide is dissolved in water?

When sodium peroxide is dissolved in water, it reacts to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction releases oxygen gas as a byproduct, which can be observed as bubbles. The solution becomes alkaline due to the formation of sodium hydroxide.

Is peroxide good for sore throat?

No, peroxide is dangerous to your health and has no beneficial effect whatsoever. If anything, it will damage your throat more, possibly giving it permanent chemical scarring.


Is tyndall effect observed in true solution?

No, the Tyndall effect is not observed in true solutions. True solutions contain solute particles that are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so they do not scatter light and appear transparent. The Tyndall effect is only observed in colloids or suspensions where the particles are larger and can scatter light, making the solution appear cloudy or opaque.


Match the experimental conditions applied to the photoelectric effect observed.?

Will suspensions occur in the Tyndall effect?

Yes, the Tyndale effect was also observed in suspensions.


What effect does hydrogen peroxide have on potato and does it differ for each type of potato?

Hydrogen peroxide can cause an oxidative reaction on potatoes, which can change their texture, taste, and color. The effect may vary slightly depending on the type of potato due to differences in starch content and enzyme composition, but in general, most potatoes will exhibit a similar reaction to hydrogen peroxide.


Does hydrogen peroxide sting on cuts?

Yes it will sting first you don't feel anything then it makes bubbles and that's when the stinging comes. It does not effect most people, some are more sensitive than others when peroxide is applied.


Why does hydrogen peroxide react to yeast?

Hydrogen peroxide is a very powerful oxidizing agent. The cell walls of the yeast are made up of organic compounds that can be oxidized by the H2O2. It destroys the cell walls and kills the yeast in the process.
