Why does hydrgen peroxide bubble when it is poured into a cut?
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen gas and water when it comes into contact with an enzyme called catalase present in blood and cells. The release of oxygen gas creates bubbles, which help cleanse the wound by dislodging debris and bacteria.
What causes hydrogen peroxide to bubble?
The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around. When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). H2O2 --> H2O + O2 The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around. When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Does hydrogen peroxide help disinfect a deep cut?
While hydrogen peroxide can help clean a wound by removing debris, it is not recommended for deep cuts as it can also harm healthy tissues. It is best to flush a deep cut with clean water, apply an antiseptic, and seek medical attention if needed to prevent infection.
How is hydrogen peroxide harmful?
Yes, and it's also corrosive and would do a lot of damage to the esophagus.Another opinion:While the above may be true for high concentration hydrogen peroxide, it bears noting the antiseptic one buys at the pharmacy is a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water. At this concentration, it's comparatively harmless, and it would take a huge dose to do any serious harm. In fact, I've seen hydrogen peroxide 3% prescribed as an oral mouthwash-antiseptic. And it would take an amazing amount to reach acute toxicity. That said, it's probably not a good idea to swallow the stuff. So, in answer to the question, small amounts of hydrogen peroxide can be consumed without significant harm (although -- once more -- this is not a good idea).
What is the pH of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water solution?
Since the dissociation constant for hydrogen peroxide is 2.4 x 10^-12 (very very small) if only a 3% concentration were to be mixed with water the pH would be negligible. However the main reason Hydrogen peroxide stings when you spill or pour it on a cut to disinfect it is because of its fairly high reactivity.
When hydrogen peroxide is poured on a cut on a persons skin the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas what type of change is this?
This is a chemical reaction. A decomposition reaction.

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.
What cause hydrogen peroxide to bubble up when apply to a scrapped knee?
The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase.

How do you beat cut the rope level 14?
To beat the 14th level you cut the rope and don't pop the bubble. Let the rope catcher catch the candy in the bubble then pop it and you'll get into another bubble. Then cut it and Omnom will eat and you'll also get three stars!
Prescribe medication with Hydrogen Peroxide?
Though the chemical reactions with other elements is in doubt not known to me ,since I'm not a chemist,Hydrogen Peroxide kills healthy skin cells of the epidermis and germs when pouring it to a cut as usual first-aid procedures . But that is all I know, I tested this by pouring hydrogen peroxide on my skin without an open wound and resulted with dead cells on a section of my epidrmis (skin).
