  2. Self-ionization of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-ionization_of_water

    The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, autoprotolysis of water, autodissociation of water, or simply dissociation of water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H 2 O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms) to become a hydroxide ion, OH −.

  3. Bleach activator - Wikipedia

    In the wash, both compounds dissolve in the water. When dissolved in water, the persalt releases hydrogen peroxide (e.g. from sodium percarbonate): 2Na 2 CO 3 ∙3H 2 O 2 → 2Na 2 CO 3 + 3H 2 O 2. In a basic wash solution, hydrogen peroxide loses a proton and is converted to the perhydroxyl anion: H 2 O 2 ⇌ H + + HO 2 −

  4. 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.

  5. Hydroperoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroperoxide

    This hydrogen peroxide then releases hydrogen peroxide: [(HO) 3 B(OOH)] − + H 2 O ⇌ B(OH) − 4 + H 2 O 2. Several metal hydroperoxide complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Some form by the reaction of metal hydrides with oxygen gas: [17] L n M−H + O 2 → L n M−O−O−H (L n refers to other ligands bound to the ...

  6. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    In this context, the oxidizing agent is called an electron acceptor and the reducing agent is called an electron donor. A classic oxidizing agent is the ferrocenium ion Fe(C 5 H 5) + 2, which accepts an electron to form Fe(C 5 H 5) 2. One of the strongest acceptors commercially available is "Magic blue", the radical cation derived from N(C 6 H ...

  7. Ionic liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_liquid

    Ionic liquids' low volatility effectively eliminates a major pathway for environmental release and contamination. Ionic liquids' aquatic toxicity is as severe as or more so than many current solvents. [65] [66] [67] Ultrasound can degrade solutions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid to relatively innocuous ...

  8. Ionized-air glow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized-air_glow

    Ionized nitrogen radiates primarily as a set of lines in the blue part of the spectrum. [14] A violet hue can occur when the spectrum contains emission lines of atomic hydrogen. This may happen when the air contains high amount of water, e.g. with lightnings in low altitudes passing through rain thunderstorms. Water vapor and small water ...

  9. Vaporized hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporized_hydrogen_peroxide

    VHP is produced from a solution of liquid H 2 O 2 and water, by generators specifically designed for the purpose. These generators initially dehumidify the ambient air, then produce VHP by passing aqueous hydrogen peroxide over a vaporizer, and circulate the vapor at a programmed concentration in the air, typically from 140 ppm to 1400 ppm, depending on the infectious agent to be cleared.
