When using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, use just enough hydrogen peroxide to make the baking soda "pasty" enough to pick up on your toothbrush. For a single application, try using one teaspoon of baking soda, then add peroxide little by little. If it gets too wet, add some more baking soda. The exact ratio is not too scientific.

Also - try using equal parts of table salt and baking soda in the mix, then add the appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide. To make it easy, some people make the mix right in the palm of their hand, but it could irritate your skin so you'll have to see for yourself.

Either way, get it on your brush, and apply it into your gums using little wiggly back-and-forth movements of the brush at the gum line. You can also "tap" the mixture into the gums where they form a collar around the teeth, especially in areas where you know you may have deeper pockets in the gums.

See your dentist for a complete periodontal examination and his/her recommendations if you have or even if you think you have gum disease.

What is the Fraction of hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. Its chemical formula is H2O2, indicating that it has a 2:2 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms. This simplifies to a 1:1 ratio, meaning that the fraction of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide is 1/2.


What is the ratio of atoms for Hydrogen peroxide?

The ratio of atoms for hydrogen peroxide is 2:2:2, which means it contains two hydrogen atoms, two oxygen atoms, and two hydrogen atoms. This can be represented by the chemical formula H2O2.


What compounds have a hydrogen to oxygen ratio that is greater than 2 to 1?

Hydrogen peroxide (H202)


Why is the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen not always 21?

The ratio 2:1 is only for Water, H2O, but there are compounds such as H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) which has ratio 1:1.


What is oxygen to hydrogen mass ratio h2o2?

What rato is present between masses of hydrogen and oxygen in Hydrogen per oxide?

Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2 - so it is a 1:1 ratio.


Is agua oxigenada a compound or element?

Compound; Agua Oxigenada is Spanish for Hydrogen Peroxide. H2O2


What are two compounds that have the same elements but different ratios?

Water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are two compounds that have the same elements (hydrogen and oxygen) but in different ratios. Water has a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms, while hydrogen peroxide has a 2:2 ratio.


Background information of hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide has a molecular formula of H2O2. So each molecule of hydrogen peroxide has a 1:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Its structural formula is H-O-O-H. The overall equation for the process during which hydrogen peroxide is made is H2+O2 ---> H2O2.


Can you use hydrogen peroxide to whiten dentures?

Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide to whiten dentures. However, it is important to dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water (1:1 ratio) before soaking the dentures in the solution for 20-30 minutes. It is recommended to rinse the dentures thoroughly with water after soaking to remove any residue before wearing them again.


What makes these two compounds different hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen and oxygen water?

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a compound with two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms arranged differently than those in water (H2O), which has two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. This difference in molecular structure results in different properties and reactivity for each compound. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent, while water is a stable molecule commonly known as a universal solvent.


Hydrogen and Oxygen present in a 1 to 2 to 1 ratio is what?

Hydrogen and oxygen present in a 1:2:1 ratio is characteristic of water (H2O). This ratio reflects the stoichiometry of water where each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom.
