  • Chief Scientist Carl Nelson shows us an extreme science project using hydrogen peroxide to make foam.
    It turns out that the bottle of hydrogen peroxide you have in the bathroom really does nothing for small cuts and scrapes. Check out this article from the New York Times that talks about how peroxide use for cuts is really not all that effective.
    Of course don’t miss our video below that shows what you can do with concentrated hydrogen peroxide.
    We’ve received a few questions about hydrogen peroxide and it’s effectiveness on small cuts and scrapes. Head over to: imaginationstationtoledo.org/c... to find references on the topic.
    Imagination Station, Toledo's hands-on science center, is a vital non-profit organization that is an integral part of Toledo's economic, educational and social landscape. Imagination Station provides a critical layer of science enrichment by serving as an educational partner for teachers, schools and parents. It's with a thoughtful blend of exhibits, experiences, education and excitement that Imagination Station is inspiring future generations of scientists in Northwest Ohio. With hundreds of hands-on exhibits and demonstrations, Imagination Station delivers a multi-sensory experience that's as fun as it is educational.

    The answer for those in chemistry.
    Initial Appearance: 35% hydrogen peroxide along with dish soap in a tube with hydrogen peroxide.
    Observation: There is a tube with 35% hydrogen peroxide and dish soap gets pour and mixed with the 35% hydrogen then a catalytic get poured into the tube making a foam like substance come out of the tube.
    Type of change: chemical change.
    evidence: The 35% hydrogen and the dish soap along with the catalytic make a foam substance come out of the tube.

    Initial Appearance- red liquid and a black liquid
    Observation- they poured dish soap in both, then added peroxide and it released a bunch of oxygen gas
    Type of Change- chemical change
    Clue- its irreversible

  • @jennaespinoza2930
    @jennaespinoza2930 3 года назад +14

    initial apperance: large foamy mess that looks like toothpaste.
    observations: when the hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with the yeast it starts breaking down into water and oxygen.
    type of change: chemical
    clue: color change, gas formation

    Hydrogen peroxide is a cytotoxic agent (meant to destroy cells completely, compared to acid it may cause an effect of 'oxidative stress').
    "H2O2, a highly reactive agent, can react under certain conditions with a variety of cellular components. These reactions include the lipid peroxidation of membrane and hydroxylation of proteins and DNA. The reactions can take place in the presence of oxygen and are fairly rapid, the H2O2 being converted to water and oxygen. Experiments were carried out in vitro to assess the ability of this agent to destroy cancer cells without generating dangerous by-products. The direct administration of aqueous H2O2 into solid tumors has the potential to cause tumor cell death."

      Finally someone who understand it! And also H.P can kill any type of organic matter when it react with iron which produce Hydroxyl radical which is highly reactive and then at time of this thing produce any organic matter to come in contact with it will eventually be dead and assured. That's why bacteria which use a lot of iron can't make it in the people's body where H.P is abundant (I think)

    Maybe it doesnt clean wounds, but it's definitely a biocide and can be used to sanitize surfaces. You still shouldnt use it to disinfect your wounds though, because it doesnt just kill bacteria, it also kills the human cells, which slows down healing (which means a higher risk of infection and more scarring).

      +suncu91 Well, unfortunately that would be a little underwhelming here since while the foam is filled with oxygen, there is no Fuel to actually combust. You need Fuel, Ignition source and oxygen for something to burn. Here at match tossed into the foam (soapy water) would burn a little brighter for a second or so and then be extinguished.
