Hydrogen peroxide, also known as hydrogen peroxide, is a commonly used oxidizing agent and disinfectant. Although the production of hydrogen peroxide is more complicated in industry, making hydrogen peroxide at home is actually a relatively simple process. Here's an easy way to make hydrogen peroxide at home:
Required Materials:
3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide (available in pharmacies).
Salt. Aluminum cans (e.g. cans).
Vinegar. Step 1
Prepare hydrogen peroxide: Buy hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 3% in pharmacies. Be careful not to buy more than 3% hydrogen peroxide as that may cause irritation to the eyes and eyes.
Prepare aluminum cans: Choose an empty aluminum can, such as a can. Make sure the jar has been thoroughly cleaned before use.
Add table salt: Add about 1 4 table salt to an aluminum can.
Add hydrogen peroxide: Slowly add hydrogen peroxide to the aluminum can while gently shaking the aluminum can to dissolve the table salt in the hydrogen peroxide.
Add the vinegar: Add a few drops of vinegar to the aluminum can. Vinegar acts as a catalyst here, helping to accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
Observe the reaction: When the mixture in the aluminum can begins to bubble and produce oxygen, the hydrogen peroxide has begun to decompose. You can see that the mixture turns milky white because the oxygen produced breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Storage and use: Keep aluminum cans in a safe place, away from children and pets. The required hydrogen peroxide can be released by tilting the aluminum can each time it is used. Keep in mind that this method produces a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide, so its disinfection and oxidation capacity may be weak.
Precautions
Although this method is relatively simple, always do it under supervision and make sure all materials are clean.
Because hydrogen peroxide is corrosive, avoid contact with **, eyes, or clothing. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention promptly.
Hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen during the breakdown process, so do not use or store it in a sealed environment.
If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide used exceeds 3%, or if you experience any discomfort during treatment**, stop immediately and seek medical help.
Vinegar acts as a catalyst here, helping to accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. If vinegar is not available, it can also be left out, but the decomposition process may be slower.
This method produces a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide and is mainly used for simple disinfection and oxidation needs. If you need a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, please buy it from a professional source or consult a professional.
With the above steps, you should be able to make simple hydrogen peroxide at home. Keep in mind, though, that while the process is relatively straightforward, care needs to be taken to ensure that all materials are clean.
