HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

FINALS
PROCEDURE:
1. Introduce 3 grams of hydrated Barium peroxide in divided portions into an
Erlenmeyer flask containing 50mL of cold distilled water.
2. Agitate the flask after each addition. Agitate the mixture frequently for 30
minutes. In another flask dilute 1 mL of concentrated Phosphoric acid with
25 mL of distilled water and cool the mixture in an ice bath.
3. Now add small portions of the suspension of hydrated Barium peroxide to
the dilute acid solution.
4. Keep the mixture cold in an ice bath and agitate it well after each addition.
Allow the precipitate to settle. Decant the supernatant liquid by means of
a glass siphoning tube (or a dropper) and filter the remainder.
PROCEDURE:

5. To the filtrate add diluted sulphuric acid drop by drop as long as any
precipitate forms.
6. Mix sufficient starch with the liquid to make it appear milky, shake it
well and filter rapidly.
7. To the filtrate dissolve acetanilide in a concentration of 5 grams in
100 mL. Filter off insoluble residue directly to a suitable bottle and
stopper tightly.
Identification test:
1. Agitate a mixture of 1 mL of Hydrogen peroxide and 10 mL of distilled
water (containing 1 drop of diluted sulphuric acid). Add 2 mL of ether and
a drop of Potassium dichromate T.S. to the solution. Do not agitate.
Observe the result.
➢ Potassium dichromate is used in the identification test of hydrogen
peroxide because it reacts with H2O2 to produce a characteristic deep
blue color, which is a sign of the presence of H2O2. This reaction involves
the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and the reduction of chromium(VI) in
potassium dichromate.
➢ 6H2O2 + 2Cr2O7 + 34H —----> 6O2 + 4Cr + 34H2O
Identification test:
2. To a solution of potassium permanganate previously acidified with
sulphuric acid, add dropwise a volume of the Hydrogen peroxide solution.
➢ Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is used in the identification test of
H2O2 because it acts as a strong oxidizing agent and changes color
upon reacting with hydrogen peroxide. Specifically the purple color of
KMnO4 solution decolorizes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide,
indicating its presence. This color change is a visible sign of a redox
reaction, where KMnO4 is reduced and H2O2 is oxidized.
➢ KMnO4 + H2O2 + H2SO4—---> K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5O2 + 8H2O
Identification test:

3. To a solution of Ammonium sulphide, add dropwise a volume of


hydrogen peroxide solution.
➢ Ammonium sulfide, with its sulfide ions acts as a reducing agent. It’s
used in qualitative analysis to precipitate out certain metal ions as
their sulfides, according to a resource from the National Institute of
Health Sciences.
➢ (NH4)2S + 2H2O2—--> S + 4H2O + 2NH3
SILVER NITRATE

➢ Silver nitrate is photosensitive, meaning it reacts with light,


particularly UV light, and undergoes decomposition.
➢ Silver nitrate ophthalmic solution is used specifically for
newborns to prevent gonococcal ophthalmia and also as an
adjunct for ophthalmia neonatorum.
➢ Other indication: antiseptic wound cauterization and for
umbilical granuloma.
