What is hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O2. Pure hydrogen peroxide is a light blue viscous liquid that can be mixed with water in any proportion. It is a strong oxidizing agent. The aqueous solution is commonly known as hydrogen peroxide and is a colorless, clear liquid.

Its aqueous solution is suitable for medical wound disinfection, environmental disinfection and food disinfection. Under normal conditions, it slowly decomposes into water and oxygen, but the rate of decomposition is very low. The way to speed up its reaction is to add manganese dioxide, etc., to the catalyst or to irradiate it with short-wave radiation.
