It will depend on how dilute it is. The normal solution available is 3%. It can cause blisters, cramps and diarrhea to those that ingest it. It is used as a mouth wash. Very small amounts is not going to be fatal and there are some that recommend dilute solutions for ingestion, but the results are very spotty.

Why do people want large quantities of hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is used to get cat urine out of flooring or anything that it gets into.. if you have a large space you need to buy a large amount.


What is the difference between bleach and peroxide?

Bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite, Peroxide is Hydrogen Peroxide. The word 'Bleach' is used by many people to denote the mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and Ammonia or Ammonia Compounds with thickeners, conditioners, bluing and other ingredients to to lighten the hair and the two compounds are not similar except that they are both strong oxidizers.


Will peroxide get THC out of your saliva in one hour?

Household strength hydrogen peroxide will do absolutely nothing. Even industrial strength peroxide will only take care of around half. Nothing but time can fully rid your body of THC. You also wouldn't be drinking it; you'd be adding it to a urine sample. Most people who test for THC will be able to tell that there's something in the sample other than urine.


Cant you bleach your hair with hydrogen peroxide?

Not Really, you could kill your hiar, or some people call it damage your hair, and you would have to do it at least twice, and you would have to leave it in for awhile like maybe an hour each time. So now i wouldn't try it. I mean you can if you want. All people have diffrent hair, and it may work on some people andmay not on others...And probally not with black hair.

Is Drinking hydrogen peroxide ok?

You can drink food grade hydrogen peroxide. NOT the peroxide in the little brown bottle.Food grade hydrogen peroxide is usually sold on concentration of 35% - so you absolutely have to know how to dilute it.


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.


Where can you get 6 percent hydrogen peroxide?

There are many kinds of hydrogen peroxide of different concentrations. Often 35% (high concentration) hydrogen peroxide is 'Technical Grade' and 'Electrical Grade'. People who use hydrogen peroxide for health reasons should be aware that there are chemical stablisers which can be harmful. The ONLY safe hydrogen peroxide for health, home and garden is FOOD GRADE. There are number of companies selling quality 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide online - but be sure you do some research on it's use. Highly concentrated 35% can cause nasty burns if used directly undiluted. However, 500ml of 35% makes 6 litres of the commonly used 3%.


What is the chemical reaction of hydrogen peroxide on brass?

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 (which you probably know) so its pretty much water with a extra Oxygen atom. Hydrogen peroxide is a unstable element and when disturbed it easily flings off the extra oxygen atom with quite a bit of heat and energy and initially turns into water and oxygen, that is why its used as a bleach because the oxygen flings off hitting dirt particles or colour particles. Back to your question, what silver does is it acts as a catalyst(if you don't know what a catalyst is read the next paragraph) causing this reaction to happen much faster, and alot more energy is released (since its happening alot faster), hydrogen peroxide used with silver can produce enough energy to power rockets hens why sometimes people call it rocket fuel (hydrogen peroxide is actually used in rockets) a catalyst is a substance that speeds up something but doesn't get consumed itself, it only helps the reaction. I personally believe that Hydrogen Peroxide will be a possiable fuel source for the future, I know it has easy potential to produce a car with 1500hp, I'm not a scientice so but I know theres few minor issues they need to overcome, China has produced a Hydrogen peroxide car(that runs solely on hydrogen peroxide)


Is Hydrogen peroxide solution a liquid?

Not only is hydrogen peroxide solution a liquid, the pure, undiluted form of H2O2 is a liquid. Most people will never see pure H2O2 as it is extremely dangerous; even the rocketry industry, where H2O2 is used as rocket fuel, uses dilute solutions of it.


Is there a way to sanitize a used hot tub?

It's a good idea to use a cleaning agent that will sanitize your hot tub without leaving any residue which would be harmful for people. A good recommendation would be hydrogen peroxide. This website has some instructions on using hydrogen peroxide to safely sanitize your hot tub: http://www.thesolar.biz/Sanitizing_Hot_Tubs.htm


What would happen if a drop of blood were added to a solution of hydrogen peroxide?

It depends on how much you have swallowed and what the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide was (the percentage should be printed on the label or bottle). For 3% concentrations, a capful won't bother you but more than a few tablespoons may irritate your mouth and throat and cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. If the concentration is higher than 3% or you have swallowed a lot, you should see a doctor.


What are the uses for food-grade hydrogen peroxide?

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide has a massive variety of uses.Different concentrations are used for different things. Do not confuse this with the idea of 'Grade'. There are a few grades like Technical grade, Electrical grade, Agricultural grade etc etc. Also be aware that drug store varieties of H2O2 and other grades are full of toxic additives and stabalizers and cannot be used for people. Drugstore peroxide is only for external use.Here are just a few examples of Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide uses:* Mouthwash * Vegetable Wash * Sanitizer and Disinfectant * Toothpaste * Foot/Bath Soak * Facial Wash. Obviously, make sure you do a bit of research on these if thinking of using peroxide. In addition to this, it is also more cost effective to buy high concentration 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and dilute it for your particular use.To make a 3% solution from 35%, mix 11 parts distilled water with 1 part H2O2.
