What is the action of lithium on water?
Lithium react violent with water and lithium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.
When water is placed in a thin glass tube it tends to climb up the walls of the tube This effect is known as capillary action What causes this capillary action?
Hydrogen Bonding
What has greatest capillary action?
Water has the greatest capillary action due to its strong hydrogen bonding and cohesive properties, allowing it to easily move through narrow spaces and against gravity. Other liquids with high capillary action include mercury and ethanol.
Why is water extremely cohesive?
Water is extremely cohesive due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This attraction occurs because water is a polar molecule with a slightly positive end (hydrogen) and a slightly negative end (oxygen). These hydrogen bonds create tension at the surface of water, allowing it to form droplets and exhibit properties such as high surface tension and capillary action.
What types of bonds allow different water molecules to be attracted to one another and allows capillary action to occur?
These are hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
What color gas is produced when mixing Hydrogen Peroxide and Liver?
Colourless, oxygen is produce by the catalytic action of the Iron in the liver on the hydrogen peroxide. 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
Is the poisonous hydrogen peroxide produced in the cells of living things converted into harmless materials by the action of enzyme catalase?
Yes, the enzyme catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, which are both harmless substances. This process helps to prevent damage to cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide.
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as sodium carbonate proxyhidray?
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate (also called sodium percarbonate) is not the same as hydrogen peroxide -- but when it is dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate ("washing soda"). The sodium carbonate increases the bleaching action of the hydrogen peroxide. It also acts as a water softener, which makes any added detergent more effective. Sodium percarbonate is commonly used as a non-chlorine laundry bleach.
Is 91 percent Isopropyl Alcohol a better disinfectant than 3 percent Hydrogen Peroxide or is 3 percent Hydrogen Peroxide better?
Hydrogen peroxide 3% is a much better disinfectant. Hydrogen peroxide may be used in the oral cavity for disinfection. Isopropyl alcohol, also known as Rubbing Alcohol is only used on surface skin and not on mucosa. It dries quickly by evaporation, hence it does not have too much contact time to completely disinfect. Hydorgen peroxide's foaming action ensures full coverage of an area, with extended disinfecting action.
Is peroxide a bleach?
Yes, various peroxides are used as bleaches for their oxidative action.
Is hydrogen peroxide cleaning a cut a physical or chemical change?
When hydrogen peroxide is applied to a cut, it often undergoes a chemical change as it reacts with enzymes in the damaged tissues to release oxygen gas. This bubbling action helps clean the wound by removing debris and bacteria.
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
Why does hydrogen peroxide produce bubbles on non infected wounds?
Hydrogen peroxide produces bubbles when applied to wounds because it reacts with an enzyme in our cells called catalase. This reaction breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, creating bubbles as the oxygen is released. The bubbling action helps to clean the wound by flushing out debris and bacteria.
How does hydrogen peroxide disinfect cuts?
Hydrogen peroxide works as a disinfectant for cuts by releasing oxygen when applied to the wound, creating an environment that is not favorable for the growth of bacteria. This helps to clean the wound and prevent infection. It also has a foaming action that helps to remove debris and dirt from the wound.
How can I keep my ears safe from infection but don't have to much wax build up.?
I use Hydrogen Peroxide( Food Grade ), as drying agent. It's available from any Chemist along with an eye-dropper for application. A couple of drops in each ear will identify an ear infection by a fizzing action. Applications both morning & night should clear any possible infection. If Hydrogen Peroxide is overdosed, any impacted wax may be softened with some warm olive oil or "Cerumol". As I am prone to these types of infections, I apply a couple of drops of Hydrogen Peroxide to each ear nightly. Does the trick!
Is peroxide bleach?
Yes, various peroxides are used as bleaches for their oxidative action.
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.
