  2. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  3. High-test peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-test_peroxide

    High-test peroxide (HTP) is a highly concentrated (85 to 98%) solution of hydrogen peroxide, with the remainder consisting predominantly of water. In contact with a catalyst, it decomposes into a high-temperature mixture of steam and oxygen, with no remaining liquid water. It was used as a propellant of HTP rockets and torpedoes, and has been ...

  4. Disinfectant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant

    Hydrogen peroxide is sometimes mixed with colloidal silver. It is often preferred because it causes far fewer allergic reactions than alternative disinfectants. Also used in the food packaging industry to disinfect foil containers. A 3% solution is also used as an antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide vapor is used as a medical sterilant and as room ...

  6. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The resulting mixture is used to clean organic residues off substrates, for example silicon wafers. [1] Because the mixture is a strong oxidizing agent, it will decompose most organic matter, and it will also hydroxylate most ...

  7. Bleach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach

    Bleach is the generic name for any chemical product that is used industrially or domestically to remove colour from (i.e. to whiten) fabric or fiber (in a process called bleaching) or to disinfect after cleaning. It often refers specifically to a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite, also called "liquid bleach".

  8. Arsenic poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_poisoning

    Hydrogen peroxide production is also increased, which might form reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. These metabolic interferences lead to death from multi-system organ failure, probably from necrotic cell death, not apoptosis. A post mortem reveals brick red colored mucosa, due to severe hemorrhage. Although arsenic causes toxicity ...

  9. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    This is because hydrogen atoms (1 H and 2 H) are rapidly exchanged between water molecules. Water containing 50% 1 H and 50% 2 H in its hydrogen, is actually about 50% HDO and 25% each of H 2 O and D 2 O, in dynamic equilibrium. In normal water, about 1 molecule in 3,200 is HDO (one hydrogen in 6,400 is 2 H), and heavy water molecules (D
