Hydrogen Peroxide and Iodine #3

Open Morningstar88 opened 2 days ago

Morningstar88 commented 2 days ago

When hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and iodine (I₂) mix in water, the reactions are as follows:

  1. In Water:

    • Hydrogen peroxide and iodine react spontaneously to form iodide ions (I⁻) and oxygen gas (O₂): $$\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + 2\text{I}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{I}^- + \text{O}_2$$
  2. On Someone's Face:

    • If hydrogen peroxide and iodine come into contact with someone's face, it's essential to avoid this mixture.
    • Hydrogen peroxide can cause skin irritation, while iodine can stain the skin.
    • Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs and seek medical advice if needed.

Remember to handle these chemicals with care! 😊
