A company has made a skin peel made with 33% tca 5% kojic acid and 62% hydrogen peroxide. But you don’t peel. I want to make my own since I can’t afford the product. How do I do it

I started fostering kittens during the pandemic. A very useful veterinary disinfectant that I make use of is accelerated hydrogen peroxide. It is sold under the brand name "Rescue". In its concentrated form it has a shelf life of about 2 years. It's kind of expensive. Typically a dilution of a...

With the peroxide solution in excess, we added 10ml vinegar and 10ml of different concentrations of permanganate and timed the reaction. The basics are that the more concentrated the permanganate , the faster the reaction. I would just like to know what the theoretical relationship is between...

Hi, I wonder maybe anyone can help me. I’m trying to ionize hydrogen peroxide mist with the help of a high voltage electrical filed / corona arc. And I wonder if there is a way to know if I ionize the hydrogen peroxide mist at all? And if so, how much do I ionize it (compering to deferent...

If oxygen is effective against bacteria virus and cancer why isn't it used against coved-19? DMSO is known to bond with certain substances and could carry HP into the blood stream and kill off COVID-19.

I understand hydrogen peroxide has bacteriostatic and fungacidal properties at a concentration of 0.88 mol/l however I am struggling to establish how much something like vanish containing 30% sodium percarbonate (30g per 100g of product?), would be needed to provide that concentration and...

Hello everybody, I'm designing a gas pressure feed system for a hydrogen peroxide - ethanol rocket engine, and after analyzing the devised injection plate, I noticed it is very sensitive to the propellants' pressure drops and discharge coefficients. Once the plate is manufactured, the only...

I did something really stupid, and walked away from a sugar solution I was heating on the stove (4 parts water, 1 part table sugar for humming bird feeders). I got distracted, and the sugar was burnt onto the pan, carbonized, really bad. Some came off in chunks, but a thick layer adhered to the...

I noticed a previous thread on the above subject in this forum. For several years now, I have used 30% concentration hydrogen peroxide mixed with a few drops of ammonia to very great effect* for dealing with blood stains on cotton fabrics (on sheets—a recurring problem for me) by soaking the...

When I added a zinc plated iron ball into the acetone-peroxide solution, they zinc started bubbling. The solution turned whitish. Then after leaving overnight it became grayish with orange red foam on top

How can i test the concentration of h2o2?

Homework Statement Hydrogen peroxide breaks down easily to give water and oxygen as follows: 2H2O2(aq)----> 2H2O2(l) + O2(g) Bottles of hydrogen peroxide are sometimes labelled as 10 volume as well as 3%. This means the volume of oxygen that can be liberated is 10 times the volume of the...

Hi, I have just concentrated some H2O2 from a diluted 3% concentration. I used it on a copper scrubbing pad earlier to test how well it would oxidize; but now there is a white, crusty substance where the H2O2 used to be. I then tested it on different surfaces, but every time it dries I get the...

Hey there PF, I'm trying to determine the reaction equation for a little home experiment I've been conducting. The setup is very minimal: copper metal in a solution of 3% H2O2 and 5% CH3COOH. In reality, I'm probably missing something fairly straightforward. The reaction occurs very...

Hi, I'm not sure what I just created. First I mixed sodium iodide with hydrochloric acid. Then to that I added a hydrogen peroxide/ sulfuric acid mixture (thinking it was just hydrogen peroxide). It seems a black precipitate is forming. I was trying to make potassium iodide using an...

Hello, I am designing a small hydrogen peroxide rocket engine. Hydrogen peroxide will be pumped into a combustion chamber where there will be a catalyst (manganese dioxide in this case) that will convert the peroxide into steam and oxygen. These byproducts will then exit through a nozzle. I am...

Let's say I have a solid, and hydrogen peroxide. I slowly release the hydrogen peroxide onto the solid, and both rapidly decompose yielding various compounds (I believe two will always be water and oxygen gas when dealing with hydrogen peroxide). What (solid) compound should I use to release the...

I'm trying to understand my textbook's answer to the following problem: Q: Electrolysis can under certain circumstances result in the production of hydrogen peroxide. At which electrode will this occur, cathode or anode? A: During the formation of hydrogen peroxide from water, oxygen is...

Can someone tell me how you make hydrogen peroxide through electrolysis?

Is there any relatively not difficult way to detect if hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is present in pure water? I can think of a few obvious ways for high concentrations but what about concentrations of around 0.001mol%? Is there a way of detecting concentrations that small or smaller?

I've bought some of the stuff recently mainly to replace normal household chlorine bleach. It fizzes when it's destroying germs, and unlike ordinary bleach, doesn't smell a fraction as bad (and is great as a mouthwash or completely removing pet smells etc.). Unlike chlorine bleach, it also...

Hi chaps I wonder if anyone can help - I'm really stuck! I have purchased Sodium Percarbonate as I want to use it as Hydrogen Peroxide. I want to use it at 6% strength but do not know what ratio to mix it with water with! The data sheet is here...

We are a simple robotics group working in Antarctica. We have a small but nimble ROV that we launch through a hole we drill in the ice. We need to lift heavy objects off the sea floor. I want to use the decomposition of H2O2 to initiate a state change that creates the buoyancy to lift these...

Hi I recently did a reaction (see my last post for specifics) where hydrogen peroxide acted as an oxidising agent under basic conditions to oxidise Mn2+ ions in solution to MnO2 It did look as if some gas was liberated but hydogen peroxide only liberates oxygen when it is reduced...

Hi In a recent lab I reacted Mn2+ ions with NaOH. The Mn 2+ ions exist in this equilibria [Mn(H20)6]2+ + H20 <=> [Mn(H20)5OH]+ + H30+ Addition of NaOH ions shift this equilibria to the left (by removing protons) until Mn(OH)2 is precipitated Hydrogen peroxide is then added and some...

Homework Statement In lab we recorded a barometric pressure of 768.2 torr. Suppose we didn't have access to a barometer and assumed that atmospheric pressure was 760 mm Hg. Would the mass percent of hydrogen peroxide that you calculated for the solution be higher or lower than the value you...

How does it bleach hair? My Chemistry professor at college told us about how chemical straightening works, but failed to explain how peroxide can change hair colour. Thanks a bunch!

Need help! How to make Hydrogen peroxide ''H2O2'' ? i want to make a neon light with H2O2 but the problem is i can't find it anywhere even in my school and i was thinking how its H2O2 < ---- > H2O + O2 and that mean i can mix it but i don't know how. can anybody show me how to do it step by...

h2o2 has a boiling point of 300F+ degrees and water is 212F, so if I take a bottle of 3% h2o2 which is diluted with water and boil it at 212F degrees, then it will only boil the water right? But, is it safe to do indoors with little ventilation? What does boiling h2o2 make? I want to make 30% h2o2.

Check out this site; http://www.truthmed.org/ its about cheap alternative treatments that have been tried to cure bird flu. They make a very good case for hydrogen peroxide treatment of bird flu. I'm not sure what to think of it, if its true then drug companies are pulling a very unethical...

Does anyone know how to take Water H2O and convert it to Hydrogen peroxide H2O2, so basally I want to add another oxygen molecule to the existing oxygen molecule? I want to use the Hydrogen peroxide for a fuel, cheap fuel, don’t want to buy petroleum products anymore and I care about the world...

I've been advised by my dentist to use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouthwash, to help clear bacteria out from underneath the gumline. Although I trust his judgment, I couldn't help but notice that hydrogen peroxide is poisonous. I'm sure this is safe to do for the short term, as it's used as a...

:frown: I did an experiment on the effect of substrate concentration on the rate of a catalase. I was given 6% substrate concentration of hydrogen peroxide. We had to do 3 trials with different concentrations of the hydrogen peroxide but we had to dilute the peroxide ourselves in the second...

can potato skin affect the rate at which catalase in potato discs breaks down hydrogen peroxide? does potato skin contain the polysacharide cellulose?

Why would sand increase the rate of reaction between raw beef liver and hydrogen peroxide?

What do you get if you use KMnO4 to oxidise hydrogen peroxide? and what happens to hydrogen peroxide if it is used as an oxidiser? Surely the second one there are two possibilities: 1) H2O2 + 2e- --> 2OH- 2) H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- --> 2H2O

Why would hydrogen peroxide react better in the presence of magnesium dioxide than in the presence of sand? Also, in human systems, why is it good to have small particles rather than large chunks?

For the following two reactions: hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide, or hydrogen peroxidea and sand - The MgO2 reacted faster - why? - it has to have something to do with the presence of catalase. Also, when i reacted potato with H2O2 and liver with H2O2, the liver caused a greater...

For the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of manganese(IV) oxide, what is the chemical method to determine the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, at different times? The solution is: To add the reaction mixture in dilute sulphuric acid, and then titrate the reaction mixture...

In a redox reaction I found, Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) was taken as having an oxidation state of zero However my chemistry teacher keeps telling me that oxygen ALWAYS has an oxidation state of -2 so that would mean the hydrogen in H202 must have an oxidation state of +2 to keep the molecule...

hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen. Its a slow rate of reaction and it takes time to decompose. So we faster the rate of reaction by adding manganese oxide which is a catalyst its function is to faster the rate of reaction . my question is if we doubled the amount of MnO2...
