Does sand or salt react to hydrogen peroxide?

Pure silica sand will be unaffected by hydrogen peroxide. Salt (NaCl) will be dissolved in the H2O2-solution.\n\nIf you take sand from the garden or similar sources, the sand will have impurities (bacteria, decomposed organic matter, up to short fragments of roots) which will react with the H2O2 - large particles will be bleached, smaller ones will be oxidized and dissolved. H2O2-solution is used to free sediment samples of organic "glues" which prevent sieving. Depending on the degree of organic contamination, concentrations between 5 and 25% are used. Too strong solutions meeting lots of organic material will heat up, foam up and create a mess that can bleach skin and attack surfaces and organs (eyes, other tissue). Thinning with cold water usually slows down the foaming.

A\n\nAcid changes litmus to red. I am not sure what reacts with bases to produce salts. I am also not sure what becomes negative when exposed to other elements. You should review your chemistry properties.

B, though its even more common as K2Cr2O7\n\nby coincidence, C, Na and H2 happen to be quite good reducing agents.

Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) -- which means it will interact with lots of other biological compounds (proteins/lipids) and change their structure.  These changes in structure will change the function, making them non-functional, which is generally toxic.  This and other ROS are a natural by-product of aerobic metabolism and can be taken care of with certain enzymes, but these defenses can be overwhelmed -- by adding a hearty dose of peroxide to a cut.  :)

There is an easy one using enzyme catalysis.  Use hydrogen peroxide solution from the local pharmacy or grocery store.  Put some in a test tube and drop a fresh slice of potato in it.\n\nThe potato has catalase enzyme in it.  This enzyme catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen as such:\n\n2 H2O2  >(Catalase)> 2 H2O + O2\n\nThe activity of the enzyme catalyst can be observed by the bubbles of oxygen gas that form during the reaction.

Nothing if it was a small amount.  Some believe in drinking food grade peroxide for health benefits.

They are chemically different. Neither one should be put directly on scrapes- especially alcohol- it will burn like fire and irritate the tissues. Hydrogen peroxide can be used in a diluted form as long as you rinse it off.

Hydrogen peroxide is the best!!

How about the reaction slugs have to salt?

Probably means 2% hydrogen peroxide, or 2 parts hydrogen peroxide to 100 parts water. 100% would be very explosive and dangerous. Most companies at the strongest only sell 3%. (The rest is water)

Sodium and Potassium are correct.  They are extremely reactive with water, forming Hydroxides and releasing Hydrogen gas, which is usually ignited from the exothermic heat of the reaction.\n\n2 Na + 2 H2O -> 2 NaOH + H2\n\n2 K + 2H2O -> 2 KOH + H2

Hydrogen peroxide is man made using a process that only a chemist would understand. In the early days it was produced by burning barium salts to produce barium peroxide which, when dissolved into water, yielded H2O2.

Salt when dissoved in water dissociates an forms Sodium+ and Chlorine- ions.Sodium in free state immediately reacts with oxygen and burns.That's the reason why sodium is stored under kerosene.When the water containing salt comes in contact with a wound,the Sodium gets deposited on our wounds and starts oxidising and burns our skin which hurts us.

A small amount of sodium hydroxide is probably neutralized in their digestive system.  Plus, if you are adding it to a butter, you may actually be reacting the caustic with ingredients in the butter (fats, fatty acids, etc...) which will just make the butter salty.  Also, caustic soda reacts with CO2 in the air to form Sodium Carbonate pretty readily, which is harmless.  I'd try another "poison".

Electrolysis of water causes the formation of hydrogen peroxide with the result of rapid redox reactions that would cause gel to run way too fast. Also, while water can conduct electricity, it  heats up when electrified. Depending on the voltage, the water can get hot enough to melt the gel.

salt doesnt have as much effect on rust.... where rust comes from is oxygen reacting with the iron in your vehicle....\n\nso when water (H20) comes in contact with iron (Fe) it creates iron oxide...rust(FeO2)
