Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide

In its pure form, hydrogen peroxide is a pale blue, clear liquid with a slight viscosity slightly higher than that of water.  It is the most basic type of peroxide (since it is a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond).  Hydrogen peroxide is a basic chemical compound that can be used as an oxidizer, bleaching […]

The Concentration of H2O2

Let’s take a look at the concentrations of H2O2 importance in detail! As you may be aware, hydrogen does not exist in a free state in our environment. Instead, it generates a variety of compounds due to its unusual bonding properties. Hydrogen Peroxide is one such essential chemical. Any chemical with two oxygen atoms linked

Structure, Preparation, Reactions and Uses of Hydrogen

INTRODUCTION Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and its name derives from the Greek words hydro, which means water, and genes, which means formation. It can be found in its simplest molecular form, dihydrogen. It accounts for approximately 70% of the total mass of the universe. The sun is the most important

Properties of Heavy Water

Heavy water is another form of water having deuterium in composition. It is denoted D2O. Due to the heavier deuterium, it will have different nuclear properties than a normal H atom. So we say an isotope of an element is a radioactive form of a component.  A heavy water molecule is not as heavy as

Preparation of Heavy Water

 Heavy water is a form of water with a deuterium composition. The number of neutrons in hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium is 1, 2, and 3 respectively. This change in the number of neutrons will change the properties of that element. Heavy water is prepared by multiple electrolysis of water. Other methods of preparation include the

Industrial Method of Preparation (Hydrogen Peroxide)

Before we talk about the various aspects that concern hydrogen peroxide, let us analyse its basics. Hydrogen is the most abundant element present on Earth. Without hydrogen and its compounds, life would be impossible on Earth. Hydrogen makes up 75% of all the simple compounds we see around us like water. Hydrogen consists of two

Hydrogen Bonding in Water

Water is the most important component to lead life. Generally, the term “water potential” is used for expressing the water status of the plant. Both living and non-living beings are closely related to water. Just like humans and plants, water is also a major part of the concept of hydrogen bonding. Belonging from the family

Heavy Water

Common water is called heavy water when there’s the presence of Deuterium in the chemical structure instead of Hydrogen. Water and heavy water carry several different properties. Moreover, there are several types of heavy waters, namely semi-heavy water, heavy oxygen water and treated water. All these waters are prepared by unique methods and used for

Fuel Cell and Corrosion

A fuel cell can be thought of as an electrochemical cell that generates electrical energy from fuel through the use of an electrochemical reaction. These cells require a constant supply of fuel as well as the presence of an oxidizing agent in order to maintain the reactions that generate electricity (generally oxygen). As a result,
