Putting peroxide on a blood stain on fabric, it will bubble because of the reaction called catalase. After putting on the peroxide, cold water will help bring stain to the surface.

Why does hydrgen peroxide bubble when it is poured into a cut?

When hydrogen peroxide bubbles when its pored on an open wound, is because it is cleaning out all of the germs and infection.


When peroxide bubbles does it mean infection of a wound?

No, it means the peroxide is decomposing. You see this when you pour hydrogen peroxide into a wound because your body naturally produces a protein called peroxidase that catalyzes the decomposition of peroxides. This is why small amounts of hydrogen peroxide don't kill you: your body has a natural mechanism for dealing with it. Bacteria, for the most part, do not produce peroxidase, so they're highly susceptible to the effects of peroxides.


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.


What procedure removes dirt from a wound?

peroxide


Is hydrogen peroxide good for cuts?

Depending on the severity and cause of the cut, hydrogen peroxide may or may not be useful. It is highly recommended not to use hydrogen peroxide on deep wounds. For small wounds with debris, hydrogen peroxide is useful to dislodge small particles within the wound. In this case, it is recommended to rinse the wound with clean, running water as well.


Why does an infected area become white after cleaning with hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide doesnt clean anything, it only forces oxygen into the wound, which is the fizzy , bubbly white stuff is, and it kinds loosens the tissue so needle can be used to pop puss bubbles and everything


Placing hydrogen peroxide on a cut can produce bubbles What causes the bubbles to form on the cut but not on the skin?

The bubbles could be viewed as a sign that the peroxide is "eating" the bacteria. You will notice after a while that fewer and fewer bubbles appear, that is because the bacteria is getting killed.


How does the action of hydrogen peroxide mechanically clean a wound?

Hydrogen peroxide is used much less often today, except in some OB departments in hospitals. The reason, besides stinging when used, is that it causes tissue destruction at the wound edges which can make healing slower. Hospitals use Betadine solution (an organically-bound iodine solution) to cleanse wounds. For home use I would simply keep some Neosporin ointment available. While hydrogen peroxide is relatively safe to use on a wound, it is much more suited for disinfecting inanimate surfaces. The reason for this is that the enzyme catalase is found in your blood. Catalase rapidly breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (the bubbles) before the peroxide really has a chance to help.


Is hydrogen peroxide a chemical or physical change?

Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Catalase is found in blood and bacteria in the wound. The bubbles you see are from the oxygen that is being released.
