Peroxide, Hydrogen
It is produced commercially in concentrations between 20% and 70%. It is a pale blue chemical. It has a colorless appearance when mixed with water.

It acts as both an oxidizing and reducing agent. The reason for these effects being high is that oxygen atoms have a valence of -1. In Hydrogen Peroxide, Oxygen takes 1 electron and becomes -2. And it becomes a strong oxidizing agent. They give 1 electron and take the 0 oxidation state. With these properties, the usage areas of the chemical are determined.

Its molecule is a disinfectant with bacteriostatic properties. Due to this feature, it prevents the division and reproduction of bacteria.

What are its Physical and Chemical Properties?
It is also used industrially at 27%, 35% and 50% concentrations.

The boiling point of Hydrogen Peroxide at 27, 35 and 50% concentrations is 105 ° C, 108 ° C and 114 ° C.

The freezing point at 27, 35 and 50% concentrations is -23 ° C, -33 ° C and -52 ° C.

It is a crystalline solid at low temperatures. It has a slightly sharp and irritating odor.

It is usually used as an aqueous solution. It has a slightly acidic taste. It is a partially unstable chemical.

Its density is 1.11 g/cm3. This density is valid for a 30% solution. As its concentration in the solution increases, its density also increases.

As its concentration in the solution increases, its boiling point also increases.

However, as the concentration in the solution increases, its freezing point decreases.

Its properties depend on ambient conditions such as temperature and concentration.
