Can you mix iodine with hydrogen peroxide?
Yes, you can but if you put a cotton swab in this mixture, it will turn purple.
What colour will a solution of hydrogen peroxide fe rrous ammonium sulfate and potassium thiocyanate turn?
This is a very complicated question and the answer would have to be figured out by experiment. Commiserations.
Why hydrogen peroxide stored in dark bottles?
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2 ) is a chemical compound that decomposes into water and oxygen when exposed to light. This happens because the light energy is sufficient to bring about cleavage in the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in this compound. The dissociated elements again associate to form water ( which is a stable compound ) and oxygen. to prevent H2O2 from decomposition, it should be protected from light.
Why is hydrogen peroxide stored in a refrigerator?
to keep light and ultimately heat from reaching the solution, which would excite the molecules and possibly allow the chemical reaction to happen inside the bottle and turn it to water before you even put it over a cut.

Does water turn into hydrogrn peroxIde after a while?
No, Hydrogen Peroxide will eventually turn into water because it will break down from H2O2 into H2O but water will not turn into hydrogen peroxide....
How do the chemical properties of peroxide make it sutiable for hair dye?
the extra oxygen atom also makes hydrogen peroxide more reactive than water. hydrogen peroxide reacts readily with chemical pigments that give materials their color. this process which is called bleaching can make stained teeth white or turn brown hair blond.

Why does alcohol turn fingers white?

Does the liver break down hydrogen peroxide?
When liver is added to hydrogen peroxide it starts bubbling vigorously releasing oxygen gas as effervescence. Hence the catalase present in liver decomposes the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
What caused the pools to turn green at the Rio 2016 Olympics?
It was discovered that a pool technician mistakingly used 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide in the pools. The peroxide neutralized the chlorine, which allowed for organic growth.

What happens when hydrogen gas is passed through lime water?
When hydrogen is added to lime water, the solution becomes milky. This is because it forms calcium carbonate.
