What are organic peroxides?
Organic peroxides are organic compounds (compounds containing carbon and hydrogen bonded together) that contain a peroxide or O-O group, where one oxygen atom is single bonded to another. Each oxygen is bonded to another atom as well, at least one of those is carbon in an organic peroxide.
Why are bubbles produced when hydrogen peroxide reacts with catalase?
oxygen. catalase is an enzyme that breaks hydrogen peroxide down to form water and oxygen.
2 uses of hydrogen?
Powering vehicle's and powering buildings
What are the effects of hydrogen?
if you breath it in it will harm the human parts of youur body.
What are some practical uses of hydrogen?
Some practical uses are that hydrogen is for fuel. That is a practical use for hydrogen. Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. It is the only element that doesn't have neutrons in it. Hydrogen is also the lightest of all elements.
What are some examples of peroxides?
hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide
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.
Is peroxide gas harmful to breath?
There is no such thing as peroxide gas.... peroxide isn't a chemical, it is a part of a chemical. You can have hydrogen peroxide or sodium peroxide for instance, or other types of peroxides, but not just peroxide. But generally peroxides are strong oxidizing agents and are not healthy to ingest.
Will Hydrogen Peroxides kill giardia germs?
Since categorized in the highly reactive oxygen species , it should do the trick knowing it is high in oxygen.
What do peroxides do in cells?
Peroxides are very harmful to cells.They are broken by peroxisomes.
What peroxides do to bacteria?
Many peroxides, most notably hydrogen peroxide, are powerful oxidizing agents. They act on organic compounds to oxidize them. In the case of a bacterium, the peroxide will simply oxidize anything it contacts, destroying it. The cell is at least partly burned up, if you will, though without heat.
How can you use hydrogen?
what are some uses hydrogen
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.
Why does hydrogen peroxide produce bubbles on non infected wounds?
Because your blood contains an enzyme called peroxidase that explicitly exists for the purpose of catalyzing the decomposition of peroxides.
What will happen when the sun uses up all its hydrogen?
When the sun uses up all its hydrogen, it will start using helium that is converted from hydrogen.
What are organic peroxides?
Organic peroxides are organic compounds (compounds containing carbon and hydrogen bonded together) that contain a peroxide or O-O group, where one oxygen atom is single bonded to another. Each oxygen is bonded to another atom as well, at least one of those is carbon in an organic peroxide.
What are the effects of H202?
H2O2 is also called Hydrogen Peroxide. It can be used as a disinfectant, or as a bleach, or many other uses. it seems that the main effect is oxidative stress
