Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer. This is one of the components needed to make a glow stick glow. The chemical reaction for this kind of heatless light happens when you mix multiple chemical compounds. When you combine two or more compounds, the atoms may rearrange themselves to form new compounds. Depending on the nature of these compounds, this chemical reaction will cause either a release of energy or absorption of energy. The first known in depth studies of heatless light were in China sometime around 1500 B.C. regarding fireflies and glow-worms and bioluminescence. The second place I found where bioluminescence took place was in 1602 with a type of rock called the Bolognian Stone or Litheophosphorus which is naturally luminescent. When it comes to the real invention of the glow stick, Richard Taylor Van Zandt is the registered inventor on the U.S. Patent filed on November 1, 1976 for the original "Chemical Light Device" at China Lake Naval Weapons Center.
What else can I help you with?
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as hydrogen peroxide solution?
No, hydrogen peroxide refers to the chemical compound H2O2, which is a colorless liquid. Hydrogen peroxide solution is a diluted form of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, commonly found in concentrations of 3% or 0.5%.
What liquid is made when liver and hydrogen peroxide mix?
When liver and hydrogen peroxide mix, they produce a liquid called hydrogen peroxide. The liver contains an enzyme called catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
In cells hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and oxygen through the activity of?
catalase, an enzyme found in the cells. Catalase helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, preventing the accumulation of toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide in the cells.
What is the solvent and solute of hydrogen peroxide?
The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.
What is the formulae for hydrogen peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 For more information see related link.
Is hydrogen peroxide found in nature of is it man made?
Hydrogen peroxide can be found in nature in trace amounts, mainly in the atmosphere and in some plants as a byproduct of photosynthesis. However, the hydrogen peroxide used in commercial products is typically manufactured through a chemical process.
Is acetone found in hydrogen peroxide?
No, acetone is not found in hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, while acetone is a different compound consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
What was hydrogen found in?
Hydrogen is found in lots of thing. Water contains hydrogen as does hydrogen peroxide.
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as hydrogen peroxide solution?
No, hydrogen peroxide refers to the chemical compound H2O2, which is a colorless liquid. Hydrogen peroxide solution is a diluted form of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, commonly found in concentrations of 3% or 0.5%.
What liquid is made when liver and hydrogen peroxide mix?
When liver and hydrogen peroxide mix, they produce a liquid called hydrogen peroxide. The liver contains an enzyme called catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
Where is hydrogen peroxide found?
In a bottle at Walgreen's!
Is hydrogen peroxide magnetic?
No, hydrogen peroxide is not magnetic. It is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and it does not have magnetic properties.
Does peroxide have ammonia?
No. Peroxide is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water. Ammonia (NH3) is completely different.
What enzyme filled sac is found in the liver and produces hydrogen peroxide?
Peroxisomes are the enzyme-filled sacs found in the liver that produce hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct of their metabolic functions. Hydrogen peroxide is then broken down by the peroxisome's enzymes to prevent cellular damage.
How can sulfuric acid be made using hydrogen peroxide?
Sulfuric acid can be made using hydrogen peroxide by reacting hydrogen peroxide with sulfur dioxide gas in the presence of a catalyst. This reaction produces sulfuric acid as a product.
What compound is made from hydrogen and oxygen reating?
Hydrogen Peroxide I think.
What compounds is hydrogen found?
Hydrogen is found in compounds such as water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
