natriumperoksymonosulfaatteina

natriumperoksyd, also known as sodium peroxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na₂O₂. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, where it reacts to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction is exothermic and can be vigorous, especially with warm water. Sodium peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and is used in various industrial and laboratory applications.

Historically, sodium peroxide was used as a bleaching agent in textiles and paper. It also found application in the production of hydrogen peroxide, although this method is less common now. In laboratories, it is employed as an oxidizing agent for organic compounds and as a reagent for the decomposition of certain substances. Its strong oxidizing properties also make it useful in some cleaning formulations and as a component in certain pyrotechnic compositions.

When handling sodium peroxide, caution is advised due to its reactivity. It should be kept away from combustible materials, organic substances, and acids. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided, as it can cause severe irritation and burns due to the formation of alkaline solutions and the oxidizing action of hydrogen peroxide. Proper ventilation is also recommended when working with this compound.
