hapettajat
Hapettajat, in Finnish usage, refers to oxidizing agents—substances that accept electrons or otherwise promote oxidation in chemical reactions. In redox chemistry, an oxidizer is the reactive species that undergoes reduction while increasing the oxidation state of another substance. The term covers a broad range of compounds, including inorganic species such as molecular oxygen and various oxides, as well as organic oxidants.
Common examples include inorganic oxidizers: molecular oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), potassium chlorate
Applications of hapettajat are diverse. They are used to introduce oxygen or to increase the oxidation state
Safety and handling considerations are essential. Oxidizers can intensify fires and pose hazards when in contact
